The Indian cricket team has been unbeaten in their World Cup 2023 campaign till now, as they have won all four matches they have played against Australia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Barring the initial hiccup in a modest 199-run chase, when India were left reeling at 2/3, India hardly faced concerns over their performances, cruising to wins against the four quality sides in the tournament.
