India has displayed remarkable consistency in ICC ODI tournaments over the past five editions, dating back to the 2015 Cricket World Cup in Australia.
Out of 36 matches, they have secured 30 wins and lost just 6. Notably, four of those defeats came in the finals or semi-finals, showcasing India’s ability to consistently reach the final stages.
Their only group-stage losses occurred against Sri Lanka in the 2017 Champions Trophy and against England in the 2019 World Cup in England.
In the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the Rohit Sharma-led India faces the challenging task of chasing 264 runs in the semi-final against Australia.
Australia, batting first, struggled against the unbeaten Indian team. Despite a few individual performances, Steven Smith and Alex Carey both scored half-centuries.
Steven Smith scored 73 runs off 96 balls, including four boundaries and one six, while Alex Carey scored 61 runs off 57 balls, including eight boundaries and one six.
As India looks to continue their dominant run, the semi-final against Australia could be a defining moment in their quest for another ICC title.
The Men in Blue are currently on 42 for 1 in seven overs, with skipper Rohit Sharma scoring 28 off 26, while Virat Kohli is batting on 6 not out.
