The Indian cricket team is gearing up for a challenging yet exciting journey in the upcoming World Cup 2023. With the tournament set to kick off on October 8, Team India will start their campaign against Australia. The tournament follows a league format, featuring 10 teams that will all play each other once.

Team India World Cup 2023 matches will be spread across nine different cities. This makes India the most travelling team during the tournament. Notably, India is the only team that will not play twice in the same city during the league stage.

For the first time, India is hosting the 50-over Cricket World Cup alone, making this tournament even more special for the nation and its cricket fans. The extensive travel and diverse venues only add to the uniqueness of this edition.
