Successful Indian captains over the years
Team India has become one of the most dominant teams in One-Day internationals from being underdogs to powerhouses in international cricket. Team India played their first ODI in 1974 against England and also participated in the inaugural Prudential World Cup in 1975.As of 2nd March 2019, Team India has played a total of 962 ODI matches. They have won 499 matches and lost 414 matches with 9 ties and 40 no results, giving them a win percentage of 54.60.
India during its initial phase was considered an underdog, winning just 2 matches in the first two editions of World Cup. But everything changed with India winning the 1983 World Cup in England, beating the two-time World Champions West Indies in the finals. Then in 1985, Indian team also won the World Series in Australia, a multi-team tournament.
As the scope of ODI cricket increased, the game came to India and with the advent of satellite TV, cricket became the most popular sport in India and has ascended the levels of madness in the subcontinent.
