This year held a significance that transcended the role of being a mere host for the tournament; it became a defining moment as they etched their name into the annals of cricket history with their second championship win.

The 2011 victory marked India’s second title in the ODI World Cup, with their initial win dating back to 1983 when the iconic Kapil Dev led them to their maiden championship.

However, despite the jubilation following the 2011 victory, subsequent campaigns proved elusive in delivering additional titles, leaving India yearning for more silverware. On the other end of the spectrum, Australia has unequivocally cemented its reputation as a formidable force in the history of the ODI World Cup, proudly displaying an impressive tally of five championship titles in their name. Two of these coveted championships were clinched under the leadership of the legendary Ricky Ponting.

Turning our attention to the inaugural World Cup winners, West Indies, they indeed secured another title in a subsequent edition but have not tasted the sweet nectar of championship victory since their triumphant campaign in 1979. Meanwhile, among the cricketing nations, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and England each have their ODI World Cup glory, a single victory to cherish in the rich tapestry of cricketing history.

With the 13th edition of the World Cup, cricket lovers across the globe are buzzing with anticipation. Their curiosity is piqued as they eagerly await the unveiling of records and statistics from this illustrious event. In that spirit, presented below is a comprehensive compilation of all the World Cup-winning teams, their captains, the standout Players of the Match in the final showdowns, and the exceptional Players of the Series who have indelibly marked their place on cricket’s grandest stage.

Rohit Sharma is in excellent form and has a golden opportunity to set new records in the upcoming World Cup.

Currently, Rohit Sharma shares the record for the most centuries in World Cup history with the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, both having scored six centuries. Rohit’s World Cup journey spans two editions, one in 2015 and another in 2019. A single century in the 2023 World Cup would make him the sole record-holder, unless David Warner, with four World Cup hundreds to his name, surpasses him.

Sachin Tendulkar currently holds the record for the most runs in a single World Cup season. He accumulated 673 runs in the 2003 World Cup, including one century and six fifties. In the previous World Cup, Rohit Sharma was the tournament’s highest run-scorer, amassing 648 runs, including five centuries, in just nine innings. With nine league matches in the 2023 World Cup, Rohit has a chance to eclipse Sachin’s record.

In the 2019 World Cup, Eoin Morgan, leading the England team, struck 22 sixes, the most by any captain in a single season of the World Cup. Given Rohit Sharma’s prowess in hitting sixes and his new role as the captain of the Indian team, he stands a good chance of breaking this record, with Chris Gayle being the only player ahead of him in the list of most sixes in international cricket.

Rohit Sharma, who recently surpassed 10,000 ODI runs, is known for his ability to smash sixes, not only in limited-overs cricket but also in red-ball cricket. Chris Gayle currently holds the record for the most international sixes with 553. Rohit Sharma is hot on his heels with 551 sixes and needs just three more to claim this record.

With India hosting the 2023 World Cup, Rohit Sharma and the team have an excellent opportunity to secure this record. Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni are the only Indian captains to have won the ODI World Cup. If Rohit leads the team to victory, he will join this exclusive club of captains, making it a dream come true for millions of Indian cricket fans.

He retired from international cricket in June last year. After that, Eoin Morgan played in different franchise leagues. Now that chapter also ended. England’s most successful captain in white ball cricket announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on Monday. England won their first ODI World Cup under Morgan’s leadership in 2019. The marquee batsman led England to a record 126 ODIs and 72 T20s and started his international career for Ireland in 2006.

The 36-year-old Morgan played his last match in professional cricket for Pearl Royals in South Africa’s T20 League last Wednesday. This time he will be seen in the role of commentator. In his retirement message, Morgan said, ‘I am proudly announcing my retirement from all forms of cricket. After much thought, it seems that it is time to leave the game for which I have received so much. After joining England’s Middlesex in 2005, I enjoyed every moment until playing for Pearl Royals in the South African league. … I will miss this challenge and thrill.’

The 35-year-old Morgan has been battling form and fitness issues this year. He has scored only two half-centuries in the last 28 innings in the two white-ball formats. There are no centuries and half-centuries in domestic cricket.

Morgan played in a corporate match last Saturday. on Tuesday withdrew from playing matches for the cricket charity Chance to Shine at a school in Hackney.

If Morgan retires, Jos Buttler or Moeen Ali could captain England in white-ball cricket. Buttler, who took over as vice-captain in 2015, has led the team in 13 matches so far.

Morgan’s decision has been backed by England’s white-ball cricket coach Matthew Mott and director Rob Key. But a few days ago, after the ODIs, the hope of leading the T20 World Cup was dashed in his voice. That’s why he was ready to deal with physical stress.

He said, “I have to go to the T20 World Cup first. Am I still contributing to the team, on and off the field? Since the start of the captaincy, I will be as honest with everyone as I have been. I still think I’m contributing. I think I can contribute to winning the World Cup. It’s important to me. ’

Ahead of the Netherlands tour, Morgan said: “If I feel like I’m not contributing enough to the team, I’ll end it. ’

Morgan’s name has become permanent in gold in the history of English cricket. He once played international cricket for Ireland, but in 2009, he donned the England jersey. Proving his ability, he made it to the middle order as a left-handed batter.

Before the 2015 World Cup in Australia, he understood the leadership of the ODI team from Alastair Cook. England was eliminated from the tournament before the quarters after losing to Bangladesh in the group stage. Even if that campaign failed, he got a chance to continue the captaincy. In the 2019 World Cup, he won the trophy at home.

Morgan has scored 7,701 runs and 14 centuries in 248 ODIs for England. He has scored 2,458 runs in 115 T20Is. He played 16 Tests between 2010 and 2012 and scored two centuries.

England set a world record of 498 for 4 in the first match of the series against the Netherlands on Friday. Eoin Morgan‘s team won the match by 232 runs. They will play their second match today. Buttler‘s contribution in the world record-setting innings was 162* off 70 balls. “Even before that, we were close to (500 runs),” he told reporters. In this case, the message for the team is always to go beyond their limits and move the team forward. Although it is difficult to achieve. But we will continue to try to score 500 runs. ‘Butler hit 7 fours and 14 sixes in the match.

He completed his century with 47 balls. Butler is the second fastest centurion in England after Morgan in ODIs. Praising the wicketkeeper-batsman, captain Morgan said, “Joss has been batting like this for the last two years. He has created a different world of his own. Which is awesome. Butler is probably the best batsman right now. ‘Butler is having a really great time in the short format. He scored a century in the last T20 World Cup. Four centuries have come from Butler’s bat in the IPL. The first three of the team’s highest scores in ODIs are from England. They scored 481 runs against Australia in Nottingham in 2018.

Morgan’s team scored 444 runs against Pakistan in 2016 at the same venue. The ODI World Cup will be held in India next year. Morgan wants to prepare himself in the best possible way to retain the title there. He said, ‘The mantra that the boys have been playing for six years when they can apply it on the field, feels great. We haven’t played too many ODIs recently. So it is important to be in rhythm before going to play the World Cup in India next year. ‘
