Hey how about the figures Pre 1983. Surely the losses would be = to the ones played. But this is a moment to rejoice bcoz it is like an athelete who is running last in the race and still runs hard and finally wins the race. So if India have to break even then it really is a commendable effort. It would be nice to see a table of India vs Opponents Performance also

You talk as if India has played its last ODI. Do you know that India has played maximum ODIs and other countries continuously beg us for matches?

India broke the record of 12 wins by Pakis against 3rd rate teams like BD and Zim, by thrashing Pakis by 140 runs.
Half presented stats do not say complete story.. improvement is due to more matches played against likes of bangladesh..
Check stats of india vs. aus, or ind vs sa. and also home vs away.. things started turning since ganguly become captain.. hopefully it should improve in future..

People like u can never be happy in life. Anything positive mentioned, and you guys will always come up with something to counter it. Not sure how u r doing in ur life. I wish u have a wonderful life. Coz u guys r so pessimist, u really need good wishes to see that u have a wonderful life.

In our office, there are people like Gandhi, 'spoilsports' or 'killjoys'. When, Bonus is announced, they say, 'see if you actually receive it'. When it comes to bank, they say, 'see that the bank does not knock it off'. When it is in your account, they say, 'see no pickpocket gets it, when you withdraw it'. His name is a shame on 'Father of Nation'.

staying positive is good. But not back-patting yourself..
india rise to world cricket stage with worldcup win in 1983 by beating world champs WI. Since than except one or two tournament which feature 4 or more nation (including bangladesh), we have not won anything significant. Worst, we were eliminated in first round of world cup just a year ago and now you guys are petting your back after win against bangladesh !!!
It's good to celebrate small success.. but not good to forget big failures so soon
We, the rediff readers congradulate Mr.Rajneesh Gupta for bringing about this kind correct analysis. I doubt whether our Indian Team itself knows this fact or not. Kudos to you
India , now, atlast crossed the defeated matches record. We should definitely congradulate for this to our Indian team under the leadership of Dhoni. Welldone Dhoni. Keep it up and bring glories to India
If this team continues and continues under captaincy of Dhoni, the winning number will not only shoot up but will never be less than losing number, until Dhoni is leading the team.
It will be interesting to watch this stat/record.
Rediff, Thanks for publishing this stat. Please keep us updated with this record after every match.
