It seems like everything is going well for Team India ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023. Indian cricket has not seen much success in the past few years and the fans have been waiting for a long to see India win championships again. The wait was finally over last week when India crushed defending champions Sri Lanka to win the Asia Cup 2023.

Top performances from Indian team

The highlight of the tournament was India's top-notch performance in both batting and bowling. Similar was the case against Australia in the first ODI. The confident Indian bowlers punished the Australia's deep batting line with Mohammed Shami becoming the first player to take 5 wickets against Australia in India.

In batting, Shubman Gill (74) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (71) played an opening partnership of 142 runs and provided the team with a solid start. Whenever Australia tried to come back in the game, Indian batsmen displayed more resilience and finally registered a 5-wicket win.
