KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• India’s highest successful ODI run chase remains 362 for 1 against Australia in Jaipur, 2013.
• India’s top five home chases are all clustered between 325 and 362, spread across four different opponents.
• South Africa’s 438 for 9 against Australia in 2006 remains the highest successful chase in ODI history.

India has been much more dominant at home compared to away conditions

Chasing has long been one of India’s genuine strengths in one-day cricket, built on a deep batting order and a golden generation of players who thrived under a target rather than setting one. The full record book tells a cleaner story than most fans remember, with a handful of matches clearly standing above the rest.

That record is being tested again right now. India are currently chasing 406 against West Indies in the second ODI at Guwahati, a target that would eclipse everything on this list if completed, making the chase a genuinely live moment to revisit these numbers.

Here is the full picture based on the complete record, India’s own top five chases, the top five achieved specifically on home soil, and where India ranks against the best the format has ever produced.

India’s Jaipur chase remains their most emphatic, completed with nine wickets and more than six overs to spare. The Sydney entry at number four is a genuine outlier on this list, a successful overseas chase against Australia on their soil that rarely gets mentioned alongside the more famous home-ground efforts.

Four different opponents feature across India’s top five home chases, though the West Indies alone account for two of them. The Guwahati chase in 2018 is the more recent and more clinical of the pair, with Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 140 and Rohit Sharma’s 152 not out sealing victory in just 42.1 overs.

South Africa’s 438 for 9 remains the benchmark by a distance, completed with a single ball to spare in one of the most famous ODIs ever played. South Africa also occupy two more spots inside this top five, a reputation for aggressive chasing that sits oddly alongside the choker tag they have long carried in ICC knockout cricket.

India’s Jaipur chase remains the highest completed by any Asian side in the format’s history, tied on runs with South Africa’s much more recent chase against India itself in Raipur.
