For the fourth time, they have advanced to the ODI World Cup summit match.
On November 19 in Ahmedabad, the Men in Blue will play Australia, the five-time champions.
We break out Team India’s statistics from the ODI World Cup here.
India’s fourth World Cup final appearance
India has now equaled England in terms of ODI World Cup qualifying for the fourth time.
The only country with more final qualifying appearances (8) is Australia.
In the 1983 final, the Indian team defeated the West Indies by 43 runs to win their first World Cup.
In 2003, they made their second and final appearance, losing to Australia by 125 runs.
2011’s second title
India became the third side to win two ODI World Cup titles in 2011, following the West Indies and Australia.
To taste the glory, they defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets in the final.
Additionally, MS Dhoni’s side made history by being the first to win the World Cup at home.
India was joined in this respect by Australia and England, which won crowns in 2015 and 2019, respectively.
Largest loss in the World Cup final
India, who defeated Australia 359/2 in the 2003 ODI World Cup final, is the only team to have given up a total of 300 or more.
That game ended in a 125-run loss for the Men in Blue. In terms of runs, this is the largest loss in an ODI World Cup final.
In the meanwhile, India’s 2011 ODI World Cup chase of 275 against Sri Lanka holds the record for most successful chases.
The top hitting performances are listed here.
In the 2011 tournament, Gautam Gambhir scored the highest individual score by an Indian in an ODI World Cup final—97.
In the same game, Dhoni trails him with an undefeated 91.
In an ODI World Cup final, Gambhir also has the second-highest score while batting second.
In an ODI World Cup final, the only other half-centurion for India is Virender Sehwag (82 in 2003).
