The Indian cricket team is all set to kickstart its campaign in the ICC World Cup 2023 as they face off against Australia on Sunday.

As the team gears up for this highly anticipated tournament, there are several records that they have the potential to rewrite and milestones that they can achieve. Let's take a closer look at some of these records and achievements that could shape Team India's journey in this edition of the World Cup.

World Cup 2023: List of Records Indian players can break

3 - One of the biggest record-breaking prospects for the Indian team lies with their star batsman, Virat Kohli. Kohli needs just three more centuries to surpass Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 centuries in One Day Internationals (ODIs). If he manages to achieve this feat, he will become the first ever cricketer to strike 50 tons in ODIs, cementing his place as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of the sport.

2 - Another player who is eyeing a record-breaking achievement is Rohit Sharma. With six centuries to his name in World Cup matches, he is one short of equaling Sachin Tendulkar's record of seven centuries in the tournament's history. If Rohit manages to score one more century in this edition, he will become the Indian cricketer with the most number of hundreds in World Cup history.

3- Aside from his century spree, Rohit Sharma is also on the verge of breaking another impressive record. He is just three sixes away from surpassing the legendary West Indian opener Chris Gayle (553 sixes) to become the highest six hitter in international cricket.

665- Young Indian opener Shubman Gill has been making waves in international cricket with his impressive performances. In the upcoming World Cup, Gill has the opportunity to become the highest run scorer in an ODI calendar year. He currently needs 665 more runs to surpass Sachin Tendulkar's record of 1,894 runs in a calendar year. If he manages to achieve this feat, it will be a remarkable achievement for the young batsman.

13- Another player to watch out for in this World Cup is Indian seamer Mohammed Shami. With 44 wickets in World Cups, he is just 13 wickets away from becoming the highest wicket taker for India in the tournament's history. If Shami manages to achieve this milestone, it will solidify his position as one of the best fast bowlers to have represented the Indian cricket team.

India eye consecutive World Cup wins as Hosts

If the Indian team is able to emerge victorious and clinch the title, they will create history by becoming the first-ever side to win the tournament consecutively as hosts. Having previously won the World Cup in 2011 when they hosted the competition, the Indian team will be determined to repeat this feat and etch their names in the record books.

As the Indian team sets themselves for the campaign, they carry hopes and prayers of the billion and more with them. And even if the other records fail to tick, the Indian team will be ecstatic if the final one does.
