ODIs, cricket’s traditional white-ball format, is slowly losing some of its charm due to the advent of T20 cricket and the audience’s growing inclination towards shorter formats. While the ODI games are played far less often than before, the ODI World Cup has not lost its prestige as the pinnacle of multi-national events.
India, the most capped ODI team, has played a significant number of matches in recent times, achieving a strong winning record, including a brilliant campaign that led them to the 2023 ODI World Cup final.
