2003 Cricket World Cup
The 2003 Cricket World Cup, the eighth edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup, was co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Kenya from February 9 to March 24, 2003. This tournament marked a significant moment in cricket history, particularly for India, as the Indian team, led by captain Sourav Ganguly, reached the finals for the first time since 1983. India showcased a series of remarkable performances, most notably in the group stage against Pakistan and in the Super Six stage. The final was held at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, where India faced Australia. Despite a valiant effort, India lost to Australia by 125 runs, which secured Australia's third consecutive World Cup title. This edition solidified the tournament's popularity and relevance in the global cricket landscape.
