Indian cricketers who won all 3 ICC white-ball trophies
Team India finally clinched their second T20 World Cup title in Barbados, defeating South Africa in a nail-biting finish. This victory marks the end of an 11-year wait for an ICC trophy and cements India’s place as a powerhouse in white-ball cricket.
But here’s something even more exciting: India has now 5 cricketers to have won all three major ICC white-ball trophies! These prestigious tournaments include the:
- Men’s Cricket World Cup (50 overs)
- Men’s T20 World Cup (20 overs)
- ICC Champions Trophy (50 overs)
So, who are the lucky players who were part of all these historic victories for India? Let’s meet the exclusive club of Indian cricketers who have achieved this remarkable feat:
Virat Kohli
The “King” himself needs no introduction. Kohli is the highest run-scorer in all ICC tournaments, having been a part of the winning teams in the 2011 World Cup, 2013 Champions Trophy, and the recent 2024 T20 World Cup.
MS Dhoni
The legendary captain, Dhoni, led India to glory in the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy. Interestingly, he’s the only captain ever to win all three ICC white-ball trophies!
Yuvraj Singh
Remember the six sixes in an over? That was Yuvraj Singh, a crucial member of the 2002 Champions Trophy (shared win), 2007 T20 World Cup, and the 2011 World Cup winning teams. He was even named Player of the Tournament in the 2011 World Cup!
Virender Sehwag
The explosive opener, Sehwag, was a part of the victorious teams in the 2002 Champions Trophy, the 2007 T20 World Cup, and the 2011 World Cup. He even held the title of the top scorer in the 2002 Champions Trophy.
Harbhajan Singh
The spin wizard, Harbhajan Singh, played a vital role in India’s white-ball success. He was part of the winning squads for the 2002 Champions Trophy, the 2007 T20 World Cup, and the 2011 World Cup.
These five exceptional cricketers have etched their names in history by being part of all three of India’s ICC white-ball triumphs. Their dedication, talent, and contribution to the team have been instrumental in India’s dominance in limited-overs cricket.
