DESCRIPTION:
The Indian cricket team are two times World Champions. In addition to winning the 1983 Cricket World Cup, they triumphed over Sri Lanka in the 2011 Cricket World Cup on home soil. They were also runners-up at the 2003 Cricket World Cup, and semifinalists thrice (1987, 1996 and 2015). They came last in the Super Six stage in the 1999 Cricket World Cup
and have been knocked out 4 times in the Group stage (1975, 1979, 1992
and 2007). India's historical win-loss record at the cricket world cup
is 46-27, with 1 match being tied and another one being abandoned due to
rain.
Going by India's past record in one-day internationals and in the World
Cup, they were not expected to even progress beyond the Group stage of
the 1983 Cricket World Cup which was yet again held in England, despite having the likes of Sunil Gavaskar, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, Dilip Vengsarkar, Yashpal Sharma and Sandeep Patil in batting and a decent set of all-rounders in captain Kapil Dev, who was now one of the best all-rounders in world cricket, Mohinder Amarnath, Madan Lal, Ravi Shastri and Roger Binny.
This time, the tournament format was slightly different from the
previous editions. Teams were still divided among 2 groups of 4, but now
each team in a group played each other twice. India were placed in
Group B in the Group stage, which was considered to be the tougher of
the 2 groups as it included 2 stronger opponents in the defending
champions, the West Indies, whose dominance in world cricket at the time was at its peak, and Australia. World Cup debutants Zimbabwe
were also in the group. The fact that the West Indies and Australia
were in India's group only worsened India's prospects of putting a
decent showing this time around.
In the final, India lost the toss and were made to bat first on a
seaming wicket against the mighty West Indian pace attack. Only
Srikkanth (38 from 57 balls, 7 fours and 1 six) and Amarnath (26 from 80
balls, 3 fours) put up any significant resistance as the West Indian
fast bowling attack comprising Marshall (2/24), Andy Roberts (3/32), Joel Garner (1/24) and Michael Holding (2/26) ripped through the Indian batting, ably supported by part-timer Larry Gomes
(2/49). Only surprising resistance by the tail allowed India to reach
183 all out in the 55th over. It seemed to be all over for India, as the
West Indies had a power-packed batting line-up comprising openers Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes, followed by Vivian Richards and captain Clive Lloyd
which was capable of destroying any bowling attack and were widely
expected to make mincemeat out of the "mediocre" Indian bowling attack.
Despite the early loss of Greenidge, Haynes and Richards steadied the
innings and the West Indies was soon cruising to another World Cup win
at 57/2. At this stage, Kapil ran a great distance (18-20 yards) to take
the wicket of Richards off Madan Lal's bowling. This proved to be the
turning point of the match, as the Indian bowling then exploited the
weather and pitch conditions perfectly to blow away the rest of the West
Indian batting. Amarnath (3/12) and Madan Lal (3/31) took three wickets
each, as the West Indies crashed to 140 all out in the 53rd over,
setting up a famous tournament victory for India which was one of the
biggest upsets not only in cricket, but in sport in general. India's win
ended the title defence of the West Indies, who never reached the final
of the Cricket World Cup again. Amarnath was awarded a second
consecutive Man of the Match award for another all-round effort.
Apart from the win, there were statistically many other achievements for India in the 1983 World Cup. Binny and Madan Lal, with 18 and 17 wickets respectively, were the tournament's top two bowlers. While Kapil, with 303 runs, was India's best batsman and one of the top 10 batsmen in terms of total individual runs, he also took the most number of catches in the tournament, with 7, and was India's only centurion. Kapil's 175 not out against Zimbabwe was the first ODI century scored by an Indian batsman and remained the highest individual score in ODI cricket until Vivian Richards broke that record the following year. It also remained the highest individual score by an Indian batsman in ODI cricket until Sourav Ganguly broke that record in 1999. Wicketkeeper Syed Kirmani, with 14 dismissals, finished just below West Indian wicketkeeper Jeff Dujon in the most number of dismissals taken by a wicketkeeper in the tournament.
India's 1983 World Cup victory was a major turning point for Indian as well as world cricket. The win boosted the popularity of cricket in India, which was until then restricted to the urban areas. It also increased the popularity of one-day cricket in India as well as in general. India began to take ODI cricket seriously after the World Cup win and soon emerged as one of the best teams in ODI cricket. Indian corporates too started to take an interest in cricket and began to sponsor many international tournaments, marking the start of the rise of India as the leading financial power in cricket.
