The Indian team’s performance in the ODI World Cup played in the round robin format has not been good. When the tournament was first played in this format in 1992, India could not even make it to the top-4. On the other hand, when the ODI World Cup was played for the second time in the round robin format in the year 2019, the Indian team’s journey ended with a loss to New Zealand in the semi-final match.
