Chandrayaan-3 led India to become the first nation to arrive on the southern side of the moon. The Mumbai Indians suggest a prosperous World Cup campaign.
India made history on Wednesday when it joined the United States, Russia, and China as the fourth country to successfully make a soft landing on the moon. Through Chandrayaan-3, India also made history by becoming the first nation to touch down on the southern side of our natural satellite. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), which oversaw the mission, announced the news at 6:04 PM IST. People around the nation have commended the Indian scientific community for their accomplishments and praised them for their devotion and hard work.

Mumbai Indians hint that India can possibly win the ICC ODI World Cup 2023
Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the moon on Wednesday, enveloping the entire nation in a sense of national pride. India has inscribed its name into the annals of history by pioneering lunar exploration near the moon's South Pole, a region that has captivated scientific interest since the discovery of water traces. Chandrayaan-2 suffered a setback in its attempt to dominate the lunar surface in 2019. The Mumbai Indians, an Indian Premier League franchise, used a cricketing analogy to commemorate India's remarkable achievement, drawing parallels to the upcoming ODI World Cup.
Team India's pursuit of the 2019 ODI World Cup was similar to the failure of the Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft. A 21-run loss to New Zealand in the semi-finals ended their hopes. Using X (formerly Twitter) as their platform, MI published a composite image depicting ISRO's resilience in the face of adversity. The image served as a symbol of hope, signifying that Team India has the potential to win the prestigious ICC trophy this year.

When does the ICC ODI World Cup start?
The ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is set to begin on October 5, 2023, and Team India will be looking to win their first ICC title in 10 years. Former Indian team captain MS Dhoni is the last captain to lead the team to an ICC trophy, which he did by winning the Champions Trophy in 2013. However, India displayed a decent performance in their last T20I series against Ireland, winning 2-0 this Wednesday. The Indian cricket team will be participating in the Asia Cup from August 30, 2023, until they play in the World Cup at home.
