Exactly a year ago, India faced heartbreak in the ODI World Cup 2023 final, losing to Australia in front of a packed home crowd. The defeat left fans devastated but there was little time to dwell as the focus shifted to the T20 World Cup.
India responded emphatically, clinching the T20 crown in the USA and West Indies.
With the shorter format taking prominence, India largely avoided the ODI formats in a packed calendar that also saw the IPL. Key players were rested for the ODI series in South Africa immediately after the World Cup as India fielded a young squad.
India still fared well in the series while the focus returning to the ODIs as ICC Champions Trophy in February next year nears. This saw the return of big names for the ODI series against Sri Lanka in August. Now India haev a clear path ahead: refining their ODI squad through upcoming bilateral series against Sri Lanka and England.
Below is a detailed account of India’s ODI results since the World Cup final, along with their upcoming schedule.
