The Cricket World Cup is the premier international championship of men’s One Day International (ODI) cricket, organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). First held in 1975 in England, the tournament has grown into one of the most-watched sporting events worldwide, bringing together the top cricketing nations to compete for the sport’s most prestigious prize. Traditionally played every four years, the World Cup features a mix of group stages, knockout rounds, and a grand final that crowns the champion. Over the decades, it has produced unforgettable moments — from underdog triumphs and record-breaking performances to nail-biting finishes that have become part of cricketing folklore.
Each edition reflects the evolving nature of the game, with innovations in playing styles, strategies, and tournament formats shaping the competition’s character. The World Cup has seen dominance from teams like Australia and the West Indies in different eras, groundbreaking victories from nations such as India, Sri Lanka, and England, and iconic individual feats from legends like Clive Lloyd, Kapil Dev, Aravinda de Silva, and Ben Stokes. Beyond the statistics and trophies, the Cricket World Cup is a global celebration of skill, sportsmanship, and national pride — uniting fans from diverse cultures in a shared love for the game.
