Team India has made a new world record in One Day International cricket. India’s team has registered the biggest win in ODI cricket in terms of runs. The Indian team defeated Sri Lanka by 317 runs in the third ODI. With this, the Sri Lankan team got cleared in this ODI series. India had already won the first two matches of the series. India’s next target is New Zealand.

Till now, the record of registering the biggest win in terms of runs in One Day International cricket was recorded in the name of New Zealand, when the Kiwi team defeated Ireland by 290 runs. At the same time, Australia defeated the Afghanistan team by 275 runs. However, the surprising thing is that both the teams had given a target of more than 400, but India had set a target of 391 runs in front of Sri Lanka.

India is the only team in the history of One Day International cricket to have won a 50-over format match by a margin of 300 or more runs. In times to come, these records are unlikely to be made or broken between any Test playing nation teams. However, only a Test playing nation can achieve this record against a smaller team.
