Misbah-ul-Haq could have done many things with that innocuous-looking delivery from Joginder Sharma. All he did, attempting a scoop, was lob the ball to S Sreesanth at short fine-leg. And India were the inaugural T20 World Cup champions. Fifteen years ago, today, in Johannesburg. And the party started for India.

"Those memories will always be there because we made history. No one was expecting us to win," Lalchand Rajput, India's coach at the time, said on the sidelines of the Legends League Cricket tournament, where he is coaching Bhilwara Kings. "Even before leaving [for South Africa], everyone was talking about the young team, with a new captain [MS Dhoni], and new coach; Dhoni was captaining for the first time, and I became coach for the first time.

"But we were motivated to do something. And by winning the World Cup, we created history."

India won the T20 World Cup despite having played only a solitary T20I before the tournament; it was a brand-new format, after all. On top of that, many of the senior pros, like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, had opted out. It wasn't a rag-tag team, with the likes of Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Ajit agarkar and Gautam Gambhir in the mix, but no one gave them a chance. They still won.

And the impact: the birth of the IPL.

"It was the first T20 World Cup, so no one knew what it was about. No one had any experience," Rajput said. "Before the World Cup, the Indian team had played only one T20I. Since IPL started in 2008, the players have evolved in the format. Many players have had a lot of game time. There are a lot of X-Factor players in the Indian World Cup squad [for 2022]. At that time, we had Yuvraj and Sehwag. Now there are Hardik Pandya, [Rishabh] Pant and Suryakumar [Yadav]."

For India, Hardik Pandya returning to being an impact allrounder of the highest T20 class has been a big plus in the lead-up to the World Cup; it has allowed the team to get the right balance.

00:00He's only played four games with 20-20 cricket, well he hasn't had too much of a look, and he's hit his first ball for six.
00:16Tickle down the leg side, go away for 40, he's a fast outfield.
00:21Through the offside, power shot, Batan looks a player.
00:38Hurled away leg side, fielder under this, can he get there? Yes!
00:42Terrific catch, Malik's a catcher.
00:47Now, Harid Asif, at a gentle, medium fast, gets his first wicket.
00:53Batan looked as if he would be a danger, he's gone for 15, 25 for one.
01:02Over the top, having it go all the way, kicks on, second bounce, finds the boundary.
01:12That's up in the air, should be taken, and is.
01:18India lose their second wicket, Utapas gone, caught to 3-D.
01:27Utapas gone for eight, India, 40 for two.
01:34That's a crucial, could be trouble, non-strikers in.
01:37Think he's made it.
01:4345 for two, India.
01:45Yeah.
01:46The stumps have been broken, but where's the ball?
01:51Doesn't appear to be in the hand that has broken the stumps.
01:55There's the ball, it's got away from him.
01:57It's placed beautifully, really nice shot from Gambier.
02:08There's been a lot of slogs and big hits, but that's just touch.
02:11Down the pitch, hit hard, hit beautifully, hit for four.
02:20Through extra cover, hit past extra cover.
02:26Another boundary for Gambier, 69 for two.
02:36Freedy, this is his fourth delivery.
02:39That's a smash down the ground.
02:43You Raj, first boundary, he's on his way.
02:50It's over the line for six.
02:53It's timely, and it's precious from India's point of view.
03:0182 for two.
03:07Wow, that's gone.
03:08He's just sliced that through the gap.
03:10That brings up over 200 runs in this tournament for Gambier.
03:17And that'll be 50.
03:18What a great start for India.
03:2089 for two.
03:30And that'll be four.
03:31From the moment it leaves the bat,
03:33if it's hit with any pace and hits a gap, then it's four.
03:38Yes, he's carted this away on the onside.
03:44Straight in the air.
03:46Imago takes it.
03:48The danger man, Yubhraj Singh.
03:52On his way back in Pakistan.
03:54They did need this wicket.
03:57It's 103 for three.
04:05Balled him!
04:06Full lane through, Margul.
04:08Whoa, the engine pumping there.
04:09He's on fire.
04:10Great, timely wicket for Pakistan.
04:11Just holding this game.
04:12Just look at this.
04:13They mean business.
04:14MS Dhoni.
04:15Gone for six.
04:16It's 111.
04:17Nelson for four.
04:18Oh, that's better.
04:19That's better from India.
04:20That's better.
04:21That's better from India.
04:22That's better.
04:23Scoreboard.
04:24Full on.
04:26Oh, cheeky.
04:27Oh, good catch.
04:28Climb in the sea.
04:29Three more goals.
04:30Top of the par, leading wicket-taker.
04:31It's Gambia that's gone.
04:32Just flicking down the leg side.
04:33Rami Desi.
04:34Absolutely in the right position.
04:35A yard either side.
04:36It would have gone for four.
04:37Gambia, 75.
04:38It's 130 for five.
04:39It's 130 for five.
04:40It's 130 for five.
04:41It's 130 for five.
04:42That's better from India.
04:43That's better from India.
04:44That's better, scoreboard.
04:45That's better.
04:46Scoreboard.
04:47That's enough.
04:48It's too far from India.
04:49It's 4-0.
04:50It's still there.
04:51It's nothing bad for outside.
04:52Well, it's only a good match.
04:53The foul line.
04:54Here, there's more.
04:55That's better.
04:56A yard either side.
04:57It would have gone for four.
04:58Gambia, 75.
05:00It's 130 for five.
05:05Full toss.
05:06Swung away.
05:07There's another welcome boundary.
05:10Think about fours, India!
05:12Full toss from Arafat, just angled away, deft little shot down to third man, yeah, think about boundaries.
05:28Slow delivery, he's got one, fielder under it.
05:32Oh, he punches it over.
05:35Steading himself was there, maximum.
05:42Tried for the Yorker, a quick delivery, down the ground, a turn for two.
05:46Athiz comes in, comfortably home for two.
05:50So what have they got, India batting first?
05:53157 for five.
05:55Captain MS Dhoni said 180 at the toss, looking for 180.
06:00They're way short of that, but it's a good total.
06:03Make no mistake, 2020 cricket, 157 is a good total.
06:12And gone, what a catch.
06:15Aggressive captain C, he's got a slip in place.
06:18He was standing about second slip.
06:20And that's a big breakthrough for India.
06:24Trecent.
06:26Just like that, crunched through the offside.
06:29Oh, he's gone hard with that.
06:35Goodbye ball.
06:36That's huge.
06:38Talking of short, Srisanth bowling too short, and that one will escape the stretched out fingers of the fieldsman down at third man.
06:51Find leg comes up, square leg drops back.
06:56Oh, that is a shot too.
06:59One bounce.
07:00Mazir, well he's on fire here at Wanderers.
07:04It's now 24 for one.
07:06Bowling.
07:07Straight through him.
07:08R.B. Singh is bowling like he has right through the tournament in superb fashion.
07:21Helped on its way.
07:23He's batting nicely.
07:25Mazir, it's 31 for two.
07:28Slashed away.
07:33And it will be Fort.
07:36Flipped away on the leg side.
07:38The timing's not good, but the outfield is quick.
07:41And that'll get away for Fort.
07:43Just shows how good this outfield is.
07:51Short, slower ball, kicked by Eunice Khan, whacked for four.
07:58Could be tight with a hit.
08:03And has hit.
08:06That will test the fitness of Mazir.
08:10Always close with a direct hit.
08:12India think they've got their man.
08:16He wasn't hearing for that rung, Imran Nazir, and could possibly have been caught napping.
08:23The bat not ground and he's shot.
08:26He's certainly shortened.
08:28Well, India have earned themselves a huge bonus here.
08:31Imran Nazir was threatening to take this game away from them.
08:34And he's back in the hut.
08:37Out is the call.
08:39Got a hand on extra cover, but it'll do no good at all.
08:45Beautifully timed, four runs.
08:52Down the ground, he hasn't timed it.
08:54Gone straight to mid on.
08:56The change of bowling has worked.
08:59The loose shot from Eunice Khan.
09:01Would you believe it?
09:05Pulled away, right side.
09:07Straight to the fielder.
09:09Easy as you like.
09:10Bottom of the bat.
09:11India on a charge here, captain has gone.
09:15That could be a huge wicket.
09:18He's enjoying it.
09:19Look at the boy.
09:20He's a star.
09:21Erfan Patan might be a star as well.
09:24Pakistan 76 for five.
09:34High.
09:35Not converging on this.
09:36He's not got this.
09:37Mid off.
09:38Catches it.
09:39Shri San.
09:40Erfan Patan.
09:42Left arm, medium pace.
09:44Shri San.
09:45Oh, yeah.
09:46The Burma lads are in from Kimberley.
09:49India very much on the charge here.
09:52Turning this game around.
09:53Pakistan in big trouble.
09:56Ricketts are falling.
09:59Oh, look who it is.
10:00It's a free day.
10:01Gone for non 77 for six.
10:05Oh!
10:07That's raced away.
10:08Fine.
10:09A little bit quicker.
10:1063 miles an hour from Harbourjan.
10:12That's what knew little about it.
10:14But it's gone for four.
10:19Slow delivery.
10:20Gets it this time.
10:21Straight to the field.
10:22He's dropped it.
10:23Had it and dropped it.
10:25Hurt his hand in the process.
10:27End of the 15th.
10:35That's a good strike.
10:38He looks to hit it straight.
10:41And gets it away to the boundary.
10:47Baldan.
10:48Patan is straight.
10:50Afridi.
10:51Arafat misses.
10:52And Pakistan now in trouble.
10:55Seven down.
10:56Once again keeping it nice and full.
10:57And Yasser Arafat missing the trick here.
10:58He tried to go across the line.
10:59Paid the price.
11:00One of four for seven.
11:01And he goes for the big one and clears it.
11:02He could see it coming.
11:03Lines himself up.
11:04Gets six.
11:05His mind's working like a computer.
11:06He's calculating the number of overs left.
11:07And who's gonna bowl it for India.
11:08And he's gonna go across the line.
11:09Paid the price.
11:10One of four for seven.

11:19And he's calculating the number of overs left.
11:32And who's gonna bowl it for India.

11:37Eighteen of the order.
11:38He puts the pressure right back into India's court.
11:41It's one twenty three for seven.
11:42Sreeshan brought back into the attack.
11:43It's in the air.
11:44And it's six.
