How has India fared in the ICC trophies over the years?
India’s first appearance at an ICC tournament was in 1975 at the very first edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup where it finished sixth.
Their first triumph came in 1983 when Kapil Dev led an underdog to a World Cup victory against the mighty West Indies of Clive Lloyd.
India’s second ICC trophy win was the 2002 edition of the ICC Champions Trophy when they shared the title with Sri Lanka.
