Having advanced to the knockout stages on numerous occasions, including the 2003 ODI World Cup, the 2017 Champions Trophy, the 2023 ODI World Cup, and two appearances in the World Test Championship finals in the 2019-21 and 2021-23 cycles, India has proved itself as one of the top teams in cricket.
To date, Australia has won six ODI World Cups (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015, and 2023), one T20 World Cup in 2021, two Champions Trophies in 2006 and 2009, and one WTC in the 2021-2023 cycle, making them the most successful team across all formats.
The PTI examines the previous ICC competitions that the Indian squad has won:
1983 ODI World Cup:
In a low-scoring summit match at Lord's, Kapil Dev's squad overcame all odds to defeat the formidable West Indies, who had won the championship twice in a row, and record India's first-ever victory in a global cricket event.
2002 Champions Trophy (shared with Sri Lanka):
Even though they co-hosted the 1996 ODI World Cup, India lost in heartbreaking fashion in the semifinals and left with the determination to improve. India and the hosts Sri Lanka had to share the trophy because of the continuous rains in Colombo on September 29 and 30 (reserve day), even though the squad captained by Sourav Ganguly went into the final undefeated.
2007 ICC World T20:
India and other cricket boards may not have taken the shortest format seriously at the time, but a young team led by MS Dhoni made history by defeating bitter rivals Pakistan in a nail-biting final to win the competition's first edition.
2011 ODI World Cup:
The Indian team was under a great deal to win the ODI World Cup trophy after a protracted and elusive wait. After a 28-year wait, Dhoni's squad finally achieved their goal when they defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets in the Mumbai final to win the
