Team India have won only the Asia Cup thrice in multinational tournaments after winning the ICC Champions Trophy under MS Dhoni in 2013. Team India under Rohit Sharma’s leadership won the Asia Cup in 2018 after they defeated Bangladesh in the final in Dubai. Then after defeating Sri Lanka in Colombo, India lifted their record 7th ODI Asia Cup title. In 2016, MS Dhoni-led side won the first-ever T20I Asia Cup title.

Team India will enter the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India to end the ICC title wait for Indian fans. The last time when India hosted the World Cup in 2011 they came out as champions and ended the 28-year wait of winning the World Cup. India will be opening their World Cup campaign against Australia at Chepauk stadium in Chennai on 8th October. Team India were knocked out from the Semi-finals in two previous editions of the World Cup tournaments.
