India won their eighth straight one-day international
In January 2023, India surpassed New Zealand 3-0 at home to take the top spot. After that, they defeated Sri Lanka 3-0 to keep up their impressive streak. India established a 1-0 series lead over Australia after defeating them in the opening one-day international at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. Moreover, India won their eighth straight one-day international, and they appeared to be in good shape going into the World Cup later this year.
