The Seeding Of World Cup 1983 Win !
**India’s 1st ODI victory over mighty West Indies in the West Indies **
Yes the ODI began in 1975 and India’s performance remained unprofessional but suddenly india became the World Cup -1983 champion by beating mighty West Indies the then yes the great Clive Llyod and his devils. In the tournament india clashed three time before the final and in those 3 ties india defeated West Indies two times.
India became the champ in 1983 in England but before it it was there in Carrebean land and in the 3 ODIs series india lost the series by 1-2 . Yes in the series india won the 2nd ODI by 27 runs. That was a big throwback for the team West Indies because the minnow india beat them in an ODI. And to have that big victory india found the hollowness in the opponent and got big confidence for forthcoming tournament.
In that ODI the main architect was Sunny the great for whom the callipso was composed in epitome or praise.
In that Sunil Gavaskar rooted like the banyan and before being run out he scored brilliant 90 by facing 117 balls. And on that foundation india set a commanding target and restrainted out mighty West Indies and india registered its 1st ODI win ever against West Indies in the West Indies. In that ODI though Kapil Dev the captain the then was adjudged the Man Of The Match for his aggressive 72 of 32
and took two wicket having thrifty economy. On the basis of Sunny Gavaskar’s rocking knock Kapil lifted up risking played massive shots on spin bowling but it is sure that there was Sunny’s innings that put foundation of that great victory and that led the path to perform with their ample approach there in England and by beating West Indies india won and stunned the world cricket.
