Their 2006 victory over West Indies was clinical and professional, while their 2009 win in South Africa featured a strong bowling performance from Mitchell Johnson and Brett Lee.
India's 2013 Final: A Classic
India's defeat of England in the 2013 final at Edgbaston is remembered as one of the tournament's greatest games.

MS Dhoni's calm captaincy and Shikhar Dhawan's tournament-leading run-scoring earned India the title.
