<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> played their first-ever One Day international (ODI) match on July 13, 1974. It has been over 48 years since then and the stature of Indian cricket has grown leaps and bounds in the international arena since then. They have now become a powerhouse in world cricket.

In India’s glorious cricketing history, several top-drawer players have donned the bleed blue jersey and have established their supremacy in the ODIs. Moreover, the Men in Blue have broken many records in the 50-over format that have left the cricketing fraternity awestruck.

Here are five major records that India hold in ODIs

India locked horns with Sri Lanka in the final game of the three-match ODI series on Sunday, January &nbsp;15, 2023. After opting to bat first, Skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill started the proceedings for the Men in Blue and took the attack to the opposition right from the get-go.

Though Rohit was dismissed at the individual score of 42 runs off 49 balls, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/ind-vs-sl-virat-kohli-thanks-throwdown-specialists-after-tremendous-outing-in-final-odi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> joined hands with Gill and continued hammering the Sri Lankan bowling attack all across the park. There was no bowler who could escape the carnage inflicted by the ace batters. Shubman smashed 116 runs off 97 balls while Kohli plundered 166* runs off 110 balls.&nbsp;

Courtesy of the breathtaking centuries from the duo, India posted a mammoth 390 runs on the board. Sri Lanka, in response, were bundled out for mere 73 runs. Mohammed Siraj was the wrecker-in-chief for Rohit &amp; co. , picking up a sensational four-wicket haul.&nbsp;

With an incredible all round effort, India wrote their names in history books by registering the win by 317 runs - the largest margin of victory (in terms of runs) in ODIs. They surpassed New Zealand's tally of 290 runs which the Kiwis created against Ireland in July 2008.

India clashed against Sri Lanka in the three-match ODI on their home turf. The Men in Blue played phenomenal cricket and won each and every game of the series. Kohli led the way with the bat, notching up 283 runs in three matches whereas <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/wobble-seam-is-effective-for-me-and-i-trust-it-to-work-for-me-mohammed-siraj/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammed Siraj</a> was India’s wrecker-in-chief with the ball, picking up nine scalps in three games.

Courtesy of the whitewash, India took their overall tally of wins against the Lankan Lions to 96. With their sheer dominance over Sri Lanka, the Men in Blue have recorded the most victories by a team against an opponent in One Day Internationals (ODIs).

India surpassed Australia's tally of 95 wins against New Zealand. Given the kind of cricket India have been playing of late, their record total against the Lankan Lions is expected to surge even higher in the years to come.

There have been many legendary batters who have donned the national colours and stamped their authority on the cricket field across formats. Talking about ODI cricket, the likes of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/sachin-tendulakar-was-a-standout-for-me-as-a-kid-growing-up-joe-root/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sachin Tendulkar</a>, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma have appeared for India in the international arena and amassed truckloads of runs.

Given India has been home to many top-drawer batters, they hold the record for the most number of individual centuries (303) in the 50-over format. Sachin and Virat have been the major contributors to the insane tally, aggregating 49 and 46 tons (and counting) respectively.

No team is even close to India in hitting centuries. Australia is second on the list, having notched up 240 individual centuries. Given the margin between the first and second on the list, the Men in Blue’s record does not appear to be broken anytime soon.

India seems to have done a better job in One Day Internationals (ODIs) when they have batted second and numbers also tell the story. Out of the 535 victories the Men in Blue have had in ODIs, 302 of them have come while chasing.

India’s staggering tally is the most by a team in the 50-over format. The likes of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/i-was-not-copybook-style-ms-dhoni-opens-up-on-mastering-unconventional-style-of-wicketkeeping/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni</a> and Kohli who are some of the best chase masters that the game has seen have represented India on the biggest stage. This has been one of the reasons why India stands at the top of the list when it comes to securing wins while batting second.

Australia, who have the most number of victories (592) in ODIs, come second on the list, having stood tall 258 times while batting second. Given the depth of talent in the Indian cricketing circles, the Men in Blue are likely to remain at the top spot in the years to come.

India has unearthed many gems who have dismantled bowling attacks for fun and made ODI cricket their happy hunting ground. The likes of Tendulkar, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/ipl-2023-sourav-ganguly-confirms-rishabh-pant-will-miss-the-upcoming-season/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sourav Ganguly</a>, Virender Sehwag, and Kohli have been some of the prominent names who have been phenomenal in the 50-over format.

Courtesy of the same, India have been at the top of the charts among the teams with the most number of 300+ scores in One Day Internationals (ODIs), having reached the 300-mark 126 times. Australia occupy the second spot on the ladder, with 114 such scores to their name.

India have been trying to adopt a fearless brand of cricket in the white-ball circuit for some time now. The batters are seen taking the attack to the opposition right from ball one and piling on runs for fun. If the Men in Blue remain committed to the strategy going ahead, fans shall witness many more 300+ scores in ODIs.
