First T-20 world cup was held in South Africa in 2007. India sent the team to participate without the big guns like Sachin tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Saurav Ganguli and Anil Kumble. Who would have then thought that India will be the eventual winner! Next year in 2008, Indian Premier League started and the rest was history. Three world cups in four years( third one to be held in April-May '2010 in West Indiz) and three editions of IPL(2008-10) has taken T-20 cricket to its peak.
