The Indian national cricket team is one of the best in international cricket. While their recent performances outside of Asia have been outstanding, they have a long history of dominance at home in international cricket. Here we are discussing one of India’s unfavourable records: the lowest ODI totals in India.
India is regarded as one of the most dominant one-day international teams. When it comes to strong home ODI teams that are difficult to defeat on a consistent basis, India is at the top of the list. Since the early twenty-first century, the Men in Blue have consistently dominated in home ODIs. Furthermore, this Asian team is known for its aggressive batting performances.
However, we have rarely seen Team India’s batting collapses in home ODIs, which has surprised the cricket world. We generally consider these to be a bad day at the office because they are extremely rare.
To date, the hosts India have only been all out for less than a hundred runs once. However, we have seen some run totals of less than 150.
