WATCH: "No one believed Sreesanth would catch that," says Yuvraj Singh on 2007 T20 World Cup win

Yuvraj posted a video on his Instagram account while watching the T20 World Cup 2007 final.

Sreesanth takes the catch to dismiss Misbah and India become champions

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.
