The ICC Cricket World Cup is the international championship of One Day International (ODI) cricket. The event is organised by the sport's governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), every four years, with preliminary qualification rounds leading up to a finals tournament.

The first World Cup was organised in England in June 1975. The World Cup is open to all members of the International Cricket Council (ICC), although the highest-ranking teams receive automatic qualification. The remaining teams are determined via the World Cricket League and the ICC World Cup Qualifier.

India won the ICC Cricket World Cup in 1983. Kapil Dev's (Captain) unbeaten 175 against Zimbabwe was the most talked about innings of the Prudential World Cup, as he rescued India from a precarious 17/5 to take them to victory.
