2. Irfan Pathan (3/16 vs Pakistan, 2007 T20 World Cup)
India’s successful defence of 158 runs against Pakistan in the 2007 T20 World Cup final was built on a decisive middle-overs spell from Irfan Pathan. The left-arm seamer delivered a match-turning performance, finishing with impressive figures of 3 for 16 from his four overs.
Pathan removed key batters at crucial moments, dismissing Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi—who departed for a first-ball duck—and Yasir Arafat, effectively breaking Pakistan’s momentum. His impactful spell proved pivotal in sealing India’s victory and earned him the Player of the Match award for the final.
