On September 24, 2007 at The Wanderers in Johannesburg, India beat Pakistan by five runs to win the inaugural ICC World Twenty20. Gautam Gambhir was the star with the bat for India, hitting 75 off 54 balls to get the total to 157/5 against a spirited Pakistan performance in the field, but Rohit Sharma's unbeaten 16-ball 30 proved a crucial cameo. The hero of the final was Irfan Pathan, who took three wickets for just 16 runs.
