India Records in ODI

Team India is without a doubt one of the strongest teams in the ODI cricket. They made their ODI debut in July 1974 against England at Leeds. India clinched the No. 1 ODI ranking for the first time on December 1, 1994. However, the Indian team has won all major white-ball tournaments and is the second team after West Indies to win ODI World Cup.

India won their maiden ODI World Cup in 1983 under the leadership of Kapil Dev. It was repeated 28 years later when MS Dhoni led the country to 2011 ODI World Cup win. Apart from this, India has also won the Champions Trophy in 2002 and 2013, respectively. After Australia, it is only India and West Indies that have won two ODI World titles. That is why whenever India entre any tournament, they enter as the favorites.
