Five decades ago, the world saw the birth of the One Day International (ODI) format — a format where a match concludes within a day, unlike the Test format, which takes over 5 days. Over the years, many teams have shown their dominance by registering extraordinary wins in ODIs.
Australia, the 5-time World Champions, is the undisputed leading team with the most wins, followed by India. Now, let’s take a look at the list of the most wins in ODI by teams.
