The stage is set for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, and India is poised to host this prestigious event after a hiatus of twelve years. India’s last stint as the host of an ICC event was in 2011, a year that holds special significance as they not only hosted but also clinched their second championship by emerging victorious in the tournament.
The 2011 triumph also marked India’s second title win in the history of the ODI World Cup, with their first victory dating back to 1983 when legendary Kapil Dev led the team to their maiden title.
Despite the euphoria that followed their 2011 victory, India’s subsequent campaigns failed to yield additional titles, leaving their trophy cabinet longing for more silverware. On the other hand, Australia have established itself as a dominant force in the history of the ODI World Cup, boasting an impressive record of five titles to their name. Two of these championships came under the leadership of the legendary Ricky Ponting.
As far as the winners of the inaugural edition of the World Cup, West Indies are concerned, although they managed to secure another title in a subsequent edition but have been unable to capture the championship since their 1979 triumph. Meanwhile, among the other cricketing nations, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and England have each tasted ODI World Cup glory once in the cricketing history.
