Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh relived the historic day in Indian cricket when they won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 in South Africa, defeating Pakistan by 5 runs in the final in Johannesburg.
Yuvraj was watching the match on the 13th anniversary of the win. When S Sreesanth caught Pakistan batsman Misbah-ul-Haq in the last over, the whole Indian dugout ran to the pitch and celebrated the victory.
It was a nearly lost game for India with Misbah striking the ball cleanly and confidently. But an attempt to scoop the ball over the fine-leg cost Pakistan the trophy.

Yuvraj shared a video on his Instagram account while watching the victory and thanked Sreesanth for the catch. He also said no one believed the catch will be taken. "Thanks sree ! @sreesanthnair36 ???????? #throwback 2007 t20 champions !!! ????❤️," wrote Yuvraj.
Chasing 158, Pakistan needed 13 runs in the final over by Joginder Sharma and they had only one wicket in hand. It wasn't a tough ask after Misbah smashed a six on the first ball. When 6 was needed off 4 deliveries, the Pakistan batsman bottled it.
Thanks sree ! @sreesanthnair36 ???????? #throwback 2007 t20 champions !!! ????❤️ ????????
