The anticipated clash between India and Bangladesh in the ICC ODI World Cup promises to be a record-breaking spectacle set at the prestigious Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. India, a formidable force in ODI World Cups, boasts an impressive track record with three triumphs and a solitary defeat. Their most recent conquest took place in the 2019 edition in England, where they clinched victory by a 28-run margin after setting a formidable target of 315. The Bangla Tigers, their opponents in this crucial match, were bowled out for 286.

In a momentous encounter, India and Bangladesh first crossed paths in the 2007 World Cup held in the West Indies. To the world's surprise, Bangladesh, led by Rahul Dravid, managed to upset a strong Indian side, securing victory by five wickets while chasing down a target of 192. In the current edition of the ODI World Cup, India remains undefeated leading up to the face-off against Bangladesh, notching up comprehensive wins against Australia, Afghanistan, and arch-rivals Pakistan.

On the contrary, Bangladesh kicked off their campaign with a victory over Afghanistan but encountered setbacks with consecutive defeats against the defending champions, England, and New Zealand. The participation of skipper Shakib-Al-Hasan hangs in the balance due to a quad injury sustained during the match against New Zealand, which could prove to be a significant blow for Bangladesh.

Notable Records and Upcoming Milestones:

All-rounder Shakib-Al-Hasan is a mere three wickets away from surpassing former Indian pacer Javagal Srinath, which would elevate him to the 12th spot on the list of highest wicket-takers in ODI history.

The veteran wicketkeeper-batsman, Mushfiqur Rahim, is on the cusp of reaching 1,000 runs in ODI World Cups, requiring just four runs to achieve this milestone. Mushfiqur will become the second Bangladeshi batsman to accomplish this feat, following in the footsteps of star all-rounder Shakib-Al-Hasan. In his fifth World Cup appearance, Mushfiqur has amassed an impressive record of eight half-centuries and a century.

Star Indian batsman Virat Kohli is tantalizingly close to completing 500 ODI runs at the MCA Stadium in Pune, needing just a half-century to achieve this feat. In seven ODIs at this venue, Kohli has amassed 448 runs at an impressive average of 64, featuring three centuries and two half-centuries.

While the focus isn't solely on Kohli breaking records at the venue, he's on the verge of a remarkable career milestone. The prolific batsman requires just 77 runs to surpass the 26,000-run mark across all formats in international cricket.

This milestone holds significance for two Indian batsmen. Southpaw Ishan Kishan is a mere 67 runs away from reaching the 1,000-run mark in ODIs, while star opener Shubman Gill needs the same number of runs to reach the 2,000-run mark, further cementing their places in the annals of cricket history.
