A grand batting display for India

It was bound to happen! After all the hue and cry over India's dismal performance against Bangladesh, Indian batsmen just bludgeoned the hopeless Bermuda bowling attack posting a mammoth 413 for five in allotted 50 overs - their highest ever total in the one-day internationals.

India's previous highest was 376 for two against New Zealand at Hyderabad in 1995-96.

The following table lists India's highest totals in ODIs:
