Cricket World Cup History: India’s golden moments in the World Cup

#10 India’s winning streak of 11 matches in a row in 2011 and 2015

The Indian team won 11 straight encounters under MS Dhoni's leadership

The best sequence of consecutive World Cup matches without a defeat is that amazing streak of 34 matches by Australia from 27th May 1999 to 16th March 2011. The best winning sequence in consecutive World Cup matches lies within this feat by Australia, 25 victories from 20th June 1999 to 25th February 2011.

India are second in this World Cup-winning sequence, albeit by a long way, with 11 consecutive victories from 20th March 2011 to 19th March 2015. Four of these victories came in the 2011 World Cup, beginning with the last group match against the West Indies, and through the quarter-final, semi-final and final.

India's exhilarating triumph in the 2011 World Cup final was the fourth in the streak of 11 consecutive victories in World Cup matches.

In the 2015 World Cup, India won all their six pool matches, and the quarter-final, before bowing out in the semi-final to eventual champions and hosts Australia. Led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, this sequence of 11 consecutive wins was as follows:

20.3.2011, beat the West Indies in their last Group B match at Chennai by 80 runs.

24.3.2011, beat Australia in the Quarter-final at Motera, Ahmedabad by 5 wickets.

30.3.2011, beat Pakistan in the Semi-final at Mohali by 29 runs.
