We are now nearly two decades removed from the introduction of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, which ushered in a new era for the game when India emerged victorious from that thrilling 2007 tournament in South Africa.

There were 12 teams competing in that inaugural outing, while there will be 20 teams from all corners of the globe competing to win the tournament’s 10th edition in 2026. Six different teams have lifted the trophy over the years, with the West Indies, England and reigning champions India the only nations to have won it twice.
