Team India's record while chasing in World Cup history
Image Source : GettyTeam India traditionally was a batting first side but as the quality of batters and chasing improved, they started winning games batting second as well
Image Source : GettyIn World Cups too, India's record while chasing only improved after 2003 as in the seven editions before in the 20th century, India lost 12 matches while chasing and won only 8
Image Source : GettyThe record improved massively in the 21st century as in five World Cups so far, India have won 14 matches chasing and have lost just five (but twice in the semis)
Image Source : GettySome of the biggest losses for India while chasing have come against Australia, whether it was the 2003 final or the 2015 semi-final
Image Source : GettyThe record speaks for itself as in eight matches between the two sides when India have chased against Australia, the Men in Yellow are 7-2 ahead
Image Source : GettyThe only time India won while chasing against Australia before 2023, was in the 2011 World Cup quarter-final where Yuvraj Singh stood tall to defy the Aussies
Image Source : GettyIf the record has to be measured edition-wise, 2011 was the best for India in terms of chasing as they won all four encounters in which they batted second
Image Source : GettyThe most memorable run-chase in World Cup history for India will surely be the 2011 World Cup final when they chased down 275 against Sri Lanka
Image Source : GettyIn 1992 and 1999 World Cups, India chased twice in both tournaments each and lost. In the last edition in 2019, India won two and lost two including the semi-final
Image Source : GettyIn all, India have won 22 matches while chasing and lost 17 but the record against Australia has been abysmal. Can it be made better in Chennai today?
