India - First Cricket Team to Play 900 ODIs

When India walked out to the middle for the first match of the five-match series against New Zealand, it was the 900th time the team took field in the format. 
●    No side has played more ODIs than India.
●    India played its first ever ODI in 1974 against England at Leeds which ended in a victory for the hosts. 
●    The match was part of a series that would be famously known as the ‘Summer of  42,’ based on the number of runs India managed to score in the second of a three match Test series preceding the ODIs. 
●    Ajit Wadekar was the man who led the Indian side.
●    Since then, India have won two World Cups in 1983 and 2011 and have topped the ICC ODI Rankings multiple times. 
●    India are currently ranked fourth and need a 4-1 victory against New Zealand to move up to third in the rankings.
