Between 1995 and 2015, South African cricket teams with immense talent were frequently referred to by this mocking term because they would frequently falter at the last hurdle and fail to win any significant trophies. Since then, it has moved to the Indian cricket team, who, despite winning the 2013 Champions Trophy, has performed horribly in every significant multi-nation International Cricket Council (ICC) competition. India had won the one-day World Cup two years prior, and the first T20 World Cup was won by an Indian team without any major stars four years prior, in MS Dhoni's first captaincy assignment.
