5 worst defeats for India in ODIs

#3 180 run loss to Pakistan in ICC Champions Trophy Final at Oval, 2017

A disappointed Indian team following the shocking loss

In the league game against the arch-rivals, India had handed Pakistan a rout but in the final of the tournament, they suffered a reverse that would rankle for a long time. India went into the final as the firm favourites and after choosing to bowl first, they completely fluffed their lines. Jasprit Bumrah’s no ball when he had dismissed opener Fakhar Zaman proved costly as the left-hander then went on to score a match-defining 114 (106 balls, 12 fours, 3 sixes). Everyone was among the runs as Pakistan ran amok and posted an imposing 338 for 4.

Still, India had a batting line-up that could threaten to overhaul that score but the innings was pretty much over early on as Mohammad Amir bowled an inspired spell and picked up the wickets of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. India slumped to 158 all out and slumped to a 180 run loss. It would forever be remembered as one of the most embarrassing defeats suffered by the country in ODI cricket.
