India have easily been the most dominant limited-overs men's team in recent times. They have won 23 out of 24 matches in the last three ICC men라이브 바카라 tournaments - the 2023 ODI World Cup, the 2024 T20 WC and now the Champions Trophy. The only defeat was against Australia in the 2023 World Cup final.
Before that, India won the 2017 Champions Trophy and twice reached the finals of the World Test Championship in the 2019-21 and 2021-23 cycles. Overall, Australia are the most successful team across formats having won the ODI World Cup six times (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015 and 2023), T20 World Cup once in 2021, Champions Trophy twice in 2006 and 2009 and the WTC once in the 2021-23 cycle, to take their trophy count to 10 in global cricket events.
Here is the full list of the ICC tournaments won by the Indian team in the past:
1983 ODI World Cup: With India's first-ever title at a global cricket event, Kapil Dev's team proved their mettle against all odds and brought down the mighty West Indies, who had won the competition twice in a row, in a famous low-scoring summit clash at Lord's.
2002 Champions Trophy (shared with Sri Lanka): Despite having co-hosted the 1996 ODI World Cup, India fell short in the semi-final in heart-breaking fashion and bowed out with the resolve to get better. The team under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly entered the final unbeaten, but incessant rain in Colombo on September 29 and 30 (reserve day) forced India and the hosts Sri Lanka to share the trophy.
2007 ICC T20 World Cup: At a time when the 20-over format was in a nascent stage, a young squad under a young leader in MS Dhoni created history when they pipped arch-rivals Pakistan in a tense final to win in the inaugural edition of the competition.
2011 ODI World Cup: The pressure was overwhelming on the Indian team to end a long and elusive wait for the ODI World Cup trophy. Dhoni's team, with Sachin Tendulkar as the cynosure of all eyes, accomplished their mission when they beat Sri Lanka in the final in Mumbai by six wickets to win their second 50-overs World Cup, after a wait of 28 long years.
2013 Champions Trophy: Dhoni's captaincy and his reputation as India's most successful skipper when it came to ICC events got a solid boost when his side beat England in a rain-hit final at Edgbaston. In a low-scoring contest in which Ravindra Jadeja's late 25-ball 35 pushed India to 129/7, Dhoni's tactical acumen combined with brilliance in the field handed them a five-run win.
2024 T20 World Cup: With titans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the brink of retirement from T20 internationals, India were desperate to end another drought of winning an ICC event despite being favourites in each competition almost every time.
It took a lot of perseverance for Rohit and head coach Rahul Dravid to bring out the players from the disappointment of losing the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup at home a few months ago. Without doubt the best team in the competition again, India held their nerves to beat South Africa by seven runs to win the trophy for the second time.
