In fact, the senior men’s Indian cricket team are the second-most successful team in history after Australia in terms of the number of ICC titles won.

India won their maiden ICC title when Kapil Dev led India to victory in the 1983 World Cup. India didn’t win another ICC trophy for the next 18 years, but then after 2001, they added five more titles.

In this article, we will talk about all the ICC tournaments that the Indian cricket team have won so far.

Team India started the tournament brilliantly under Kapil Dev, beating defending champions West Indies in their first game. But they lost two out of their next three matches, which put them in a must-win situation. Then, in a must-win game, India were 17/5 against Zimbabwe when Kapil played one of the most iconic World Cup innings of 175* runs off 138 balls and helped India win the game.

That win gave India huge confidence. In the final, they beat West Indies for the second time in the tournament and lifted their maiden ICC title. They also became only the second nation to win the ICC Cricket World Cup as West Indies had won the first two editions.
