Team India will be opening their ODI World Cup 2023 campaign against Australia on October 8 in Chennai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be aiming to clinch it's third ODI World Cup title. Apart from this, they will also look to end their decade-long ICC trophy drought as they last won an ICC title in the form of Champions Trophy in 2013. The hosts had a remarkable year in the terms of ODI cricket as they recently won the Asia Cup 2023 title. They will be coming to the World Cup after defeating Australia 2-1 in a three-match ODI Series.
