In ODI cricket, the Indian team stands as the second-most successful in the world, behind only Australia.
India has clinched two ODI World Cup titles, in 1983 and 2011. They have played the most number of ODI matches and secured the second-highest number of wins, trailing only Australia.
Much of their success is attributed to their world-class batsmen. With the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, India is home to two of the greatest batsmen in ODI cricket history.
5. 409/8 vs Bangladesh, Chattogram, 2022
Ishan Kishan etched his name into the ODI double-century club with a breathtaking 210 off 131 balls, featuring 24 fours and 10 sixes, against Bangladesh in Chattogram in 2022.
Kishan’s explosive knock, combined with a century from Virat Kohli, helped India reach a massive total of 409/8. In response, Bangladesh was bowled out for just 182 runs.
4. 410/4 vs Netherlands, Bengaluru, 2023
India unleashed a devastating batting display against the Netherlands in their 2023 World Cup match in Bengaluru. Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli all struck half-centuries, while KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer piled on centuries, lifting India to a commanding 410/4.
The Netherlands could not keep up, being bowled out for 250 runs, handing India a comprehensive victory.
3. 413/5 vs Bermuda, Port of Spain, 2007
In an otherwise disappointing 2007 World Cup campaign, India’s only triumph came against Bermuda in Port of Spain. Virender Sehwag scored 114, with fifties from Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, and Yuvraj Singh, pushing India to 413/5.
Bermuda crumbled in their chase, managing just 156 runs, allowing India to secure a dominant win.
2. 414/7 vs Sri Lanka, Rajkot, 2009
One of the most thrilling ODI encounters took place between India and Sri Lanka in Rajkot in 2009. Sehwag’s explosive 146 and fifties from Dhoni and Tendulkar helped India post an imposing 414/7.
Sri Lanka mounted a strong chase, surpassing 300 runs with 13 overs to spare. However, India’s bowlers held their nerve, securing a nail-biting victory by just three runs despite a stunning 160 from Tillakaratne Dilshan.
1. 418/5 vs West Indies, Indore, 2011
India’s highest-ever ODI total came against the West Indies in Indore in 2011, thanks to a sensational double century from Virender Sehwag.
Sehwag became only the second Indian to score an ODI double century, smashing 219 off 149 balls with 25 fours and 7 sixes. Fifties from Gautam Gambhir and Suresh Raina helped India reach a monumental 418/5.
India won the match by 153 runs, sealing their place in history with this record total.
