Cricket World Cup is an international cricket tournament that takes place every four years. The tournament is organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and features teams from all over the world competing for the prestigious title. India has a rich history in the Cricket World Cup. The Indian cricket team has participated in all editions of the tournament since its inception in 1975. India won its first World Cup title in 1983 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev. It was a monumental victory as India defeated the mighty West Indies in the final, which was considered an upset at the time. In 2011, India won their second World Cup title, this time on home soil. Led by the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Indian team showcased exceptional performance throughout the tournament. In the final, India faced Sri Lanka and emerged victorious with Dhoni hitting a match-winning six to seal the victory. The Indian team has also been successful in other editions of the World Cup. They reached the semifinals in 1987, 1996, and 2015. In 2003, they reached the final but were defeated by Australia. In 2019, India reached the semifinals but were again knocked out, this time by New Zealand. Indian cricket legends such as Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, and Virat Kohli have played significant roles in India's World Cup campaigns. Sachin Tendulkar, in particular, is the leading run-scorer in the history of the Cricket World Cup. The next Cricket World Cup is scheduled to take place in 2023, and India will be one of the contenders for the title. With a talented pool of players and a passionate fan base, India is always a strong force in the tournament and holds high hopes of adding another World Cup trophy to their collection.
