Team India did not lose any match in the World Cup to reach the finals. Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, had won 9 consecutive league matches before reaching the finals. Then won the 10th consecutive match in the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, Team India had given a crushing defeat to New Zealand, which has always been a big challenge for them in ICC tournaments.
