1983 ICC World Cup | ICC Trophies won by India

They say that firsts are always special, and no matter how many ICC trophies India go on to win it will always be 1983 that is the most celebrated victory of the lot. And part of it is down to the fact that India won the tournament despite being underdogs.

2007 ICC T20 World Cup | ICC Trophies won by India

If the 1983 World Cup was a triumph of underdogs, then 2007 heralded the arrival of a brand new era under a bunch of youngsters who would go on to lead a golden age of trophy winning at the international level under an inspirational captain – MS Dhoni.

With a young-look India side taking to the tournament as seniors opted out, Dhoni’s men defied all odds to lift the inaugural trophy. The fact that they beat neighbours and arch-rivals Pakistan to do so made it all the sweeter.
