Most of the 300+ scores in ODIs for India came under the captaincy of Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni. Their aggressive approach led to high scores in countries like Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and England. Kohli’s era, in particular, was known for its excitement.
Out of 131 times where India made 300+ runs, they won 101 times and lost 27 times despite the high score. India’s first 300+ score in an ODI was against Pakistan in 1996 at Sharjah. Since then, they’ve consistently put up entertaining 300+ totals on the board.
