T20 World Cup Winners List from 2007 to 2026

The ICC T20 World Cup, a global cricket tournament, kicked off in South Africa back in 2007. The latest men's edition took place in India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8, 2026, ending with India clinching the championship against New Zealand in a lopsided final match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The 2026 edition of the T20 World Cup was jointly held by saw 20 teams vying for supremacy. When it comes to T20 World Cup domination, earlier West Indies and England led the pack, both securing the title twice. However, on Sunday, March 8, Team India defeated New Zealand by a whopping 96 runs to become the first nation to lift the coveted title thrice. This was also their third consecutive ICC title in white-ball events. Besides, other notable champions include Pakistan, Australia, and Sri Lanka, each claiming victory once.

India, under the leadership of MS Dhoni, made headlines by winning the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, defeating arch-rivals Pakistan in a tense final. Their journey featured only one stumble against New Zealand in the Super 8s. Pakistan redeemed themselves by triumphing in the 2009 edition hosted by England, defeating Sri Lanka in the final.

Since then, the journey of the T20 World Cup has been amazing. This time, India entered the tournament as favourites. Apart from a defeat against South Africa, the Men in Blue looked in cruise control. It was special to see how the team management backed the out-of-form Abhishek Sharma and kept him in the line-up despite many asking him to be dropped. The Punjab opener repaid the faith by scoring a blistering half-century in the final. However, Jasprit Bumrah bagged the Player of the Match award in the final after registering his career-best figures in T20Is of 4/15 in four overs.
