The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 concluded with a significant upset for Team India. Despite their dominant performance throughout the tournament, winning ten consecutive matches leading up to the final, Rohit Sharma & Co. fell short against Australia in the summit clash. Australia emerged victorious at the Narendra Modi Stadium, disappointing the home crowd expecting a historic third ODI World Cup win.

Highlighting India's dominance in the World Cup, six Indian players, including captain Rohit Sharma and the leading run-scorer Virat Kohli, featured in the ICC's World Cup Team of the Tournament Playing 11. Despite the individual accolades, the Indian squad had to settle for the runners-up medal. Looking ahead to the T20 World Cup next year, there is anticipation regarding whether Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will choose to be part of the shortest format.
