1998 ICC KnockOut Trophy: The first significant ICC competition outside of traditional cricketing nations took place in Bangladesh with the first edition of the ICC Champions Trophy, which was then known as the ICC KnockOut Trophy. Due to the fact that this tournament was a knockout competition, each match was crucial. In the final, South Africa, under the leadership of Hansie Cronje, defeated the West Indies and won. Since it is still South Africa’s only ICC trophy to date, this victory was noteworthy.
2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy: One of the few ICC competitions held in a country that does not play Test cricket was Kenya, which hosted the second edition of the ICC KnockOut Trophy. After defeating India in the final, New Zealand won their first-ever ICC title, making this event historic. In his game-winning innings, Chris Cairns assisted the Kiwis in their 264-run chase.
2002 ICC Champions Trophy: The competition was initially titled the ICC Champions Trophy for the 2002 edition. India and the hosts faced off in the final, which was held in Sri Lanka. Rain sadly had a significant impact on the match, and despite two tries to finish it, no outcome was achievable. Both teams were proclaimed joint champions as a result. This is still the first time in history that ICC silverware has been shared.
2004 ICC Champions Trophy: For the first time, England hosted the Champions Trophy, and the match between the hosts and the West Indies in the final was spectacular. Under Brian Lara’s leadership, the West Indies pulled off a shock victory in a low-scoring, tense thriller. Courtney Browne and Ian Bradshaw’s match-winning partnership helped the side rally from 147/8 to chase 218. One of the West Indies’ final victories in the 50-over format of the ICC tournament is still this one.
2006 ICC Champions Trophy: The 2006 ICC Champions Trophy was held in India. Australia, a dominant power in world cricket, defeated the West Indies in the final to add another trophy to their collection. There was some excellent cricket played at the competition, and Australia won thanks in large part to the efforts of Shane Watson and Ricky Ponting.
2009 ICC Champions Trophy: Due to security concerns, the 2009 Champions Trophy was rescheduled from Pakistan to South Africa. Australia successfully defended their championship, maintaining their dominance in world cricket. In the final, they triumphed over New Zealand, and Shane Watson once again emerged as the standout player.
2013 ICC Champions Trophy: India defeated the hosts in a rain-soaked final to win the 2013 tournament, which was hosted in England. Throughout the competition, India played outstanding cricket under MS Dhoni’s leadership. India defended a respectable score of 129 runs in the final at Edgbaston, which was cut to 20 overs per side. Ravindra Jadeja was instrumental with the bat and the ball. India became the only team to win after Australia thanks to this triumph.
