List of ICC Tournaments Won by India From 1983 to 2025

Posted on March 10, 2025 by [email protected]

India won the 2025 Champions title in Dubai on Sunday, defeating New Zealand by four wickets. It was their third victory in this eight-team competition and their eighth ICC title. 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 their second 50-overs World Cup, with Sachin Tendulkar as the center of attention.

2013 Champions Trophy:

In a rain-shortened final at Edgbaston, Dhoni’s team defeated England, solidifying his leadership and solidifying his status as India’s most successful captain in ICC competitions. Ravindra Jadeja’s late 25-ball 35 put India at 129/7 in a low-scoring match, but Dhoni’s tactical skill and playing genius won them by five runs.

2024 T20 World Cup:

Even though they were always the favorites in every competition, India was keen to win an ICC event again since two of their finest performers, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, were on the verge of retiring in the shortest format.

Rohit and head coach Rahul Dravid had to pull the players from the heartbreak of losing the 2023 ODI World Cup final at home a few months earlier, and it required a lot of effort. India, who are unquestionably the finest side in the competition, won the trophy for the second time by defeating South Africa by seven runs.

India vs New Zealand Pitch Report

Pitch Report:

Both hitters and bowlers can benefit from the balanced surface at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Stroke play is a little difficult in the early overs because the pitch usually starts off slower. In order to extract turn and bounce from the dry surface, spinners are frequently used as the game goes on. But fast bowlers, particularly with the new ball under lights, can also have an effect. Due to the dew factor in night games, teams typically like to chase, and the location has historically produced moderately scored matches.

India is off to a fast start with Yashasvi Jaiswal leading the opposition for 359

Posted on October 26, 2024 by [email protected]

On the third morning of the second Test match against New Zealand in Pune, India got off to a fast start as they chased the enormous mark of 359, with Yashasvi Jaiswal soaring to 46* off only 36 deliveries. Jaiswal made a statement by smashing the second ball of the Indian innings for six against Tim Southee, despite the pitch’s whims and the enormous distance to the goal. Similar to India’s performance in the second innings in Bengaluru. The hosts’ intent has once again been overwhelming, despite the fact that they lost captain Rohit Sharma for very little.

When the Indian skipper came out and gave a bat-pad catch to short leg. He became Mitchell Santner’s eighth wicket of the match. In addition to coming out proactively, Shubman Gill (22* off 20) shown significantly improved gameplay against spin so far. Although neither batter’s strokes were planned. They both used sweeps effectively. Jaiswal’s lofted hit over extra cover against Glenn Phillips just before the break was the session’s high point. Although batting won’t be simple and the pitch has several tricks up its sleeve, India’s assault has undoubtedly caught New Zealand off guard.

Yashasvi Jaiswal

India added just 57 runs to the overnight total earlier in the morning. Securing the final five New Zealand wickets. The opening half of the day did not go India’s way. But the visitors collapsed after Ravindra Jadeja used a slick arm-ball to castle Tom Blundell. Tim Southee edged one to first slip as wickets began to fall, and Santner holed out to the deep against Jadeja. Additionally, as India continued to chip away, Ajaz Patel miscalculated a loft to the deep. At the non-striker’s end, no. 11 William ORourke was run out. While Phillips attempted to score from the other end but ran out of partners.

Even with the collapse, the commanding 358-point lead could win the game on most fields, much less Pune’s deteriorating field. But with their aggressive style of play, India has already removed 81 runs from that mark. The hosts will undoubtedly bowl hard, but New Zealand will have enough of opportunities to break through the batting order. It prepares the audience for an exciting day of theater.

Brief scores:

New Zealand 259 and 255 (Tom Latham 86; Washington Sundar 4-56, Ravindra Jadeja 3-72) lead India 156 and 81/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 46*; Mitchell Santner 1-30) by 277 runs.

First Test IND vs NZ : Hourly Weather Report for Bengaluru on Day 1

Posted on October 16, 2024 by [email protected]

It seems likely that both sides and their supporters will have a bad taste in their mouths after the IND vs. NZ Test series begins in Bengaluru. The recent nonstop rains in Bengaluru have caused waterlogging around the city, which has negatively impacted daily operations. The practice sessions for New Zealand and India over the past few days have also been badly hampered. The possibility of rain is very real at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium as the two sides get ready for Wednesday’s first day of the series opener.

IND vs NZ Bengaluru Hourly Weather Update Today (October 16):

10:00 AM (7:30 PM IST) – 5 % chance of rain

11:00 AM (8:30 PM IST) – 5 % chance of rain

12:00 PM (9:30 PM IST) – 8 % chance of rain

1:00 PM (10:30 PM IST) – 51 % chance of rain

2:00 PM (11:30 PM IST) – 51 % chance of rain

3:00 PM (7:30 PM IST) – 47 % chance of rain

4:00 PM (7:30 PM IST) – 14 % chance of rain

5:00 PM (7:30 PM IST) – 14 % chance of rain

The New Zealand team is hoping to take advantage of the favorable weather in the city. They have frequently caused India problems with the ball in cloudy conditions. Fast bowlers would be more frequently used due to the weather, according to Kiwi captain Tom Latham.

“This weather is not what we were expecting; it’s not as hot as we thought it would be, which might make the fast bowlers more effective. It’s difficult to say for sure right now, but we’ll study the last game played here,” Latham stated during Tuesday’s pre-game press conference.

Given how Bengaluru’s weather has changed, the Indian team may also consider their bowling combinations.
