The first edition of the global event was won by India, as their young squad led by MS Dhoni defeated arch-rivals Pakistan in the final, also taking down the likes of England and Australia on the way.

However, the Men in Blue have never won this trophy since then, even as the likes of Pakistan, Sri Lanka, England, West Indies and Australia have all lifted it along the way.
