India had last won a global ICC event at the 2013 Champions Trophy, with their previous World Cup success the 2011 50-over edition on home turf. This T20 triumph for India comes seven months after they lost the 50-over World Cup final to Australia in Ahmedabad - their only defeat in that competition. History would not repeat itself.
