How did the one day international introduced?

One Day Internationals (ODIs) were introduced in 1975 as a limited-overs format of cricket to make the game more accessible and entertaining for fans. The first ODI was played between Australia and England at the MCG on January 5, 1975, as a response to the increasing popularity of shorter matches. This format allowed teams to compete in a single match with a specified number of overs, making it faster-paced and more engaging than traditional Test cricket. ODIs quickly gained popularity, leading to the establishment of the Cricket World Cup in 1975, further cementing their place in the sport.
