Picture of Kapil Dev lifting the 1983 World Cup is the most iconic moment in the history of Indian cricket.

25 June 1983 (60-over match)
Toss: West Indies , elected to field first

In the finals India were bowled out for a mere total of 183 runs from 54.4 overs. Kapil Dev’s catch of Sir Vivian Richards and the lbw dismissal of Felix Dujon were the highlights of an epic win. Indian WC dream had come true!

Series result: India won the 1983 Prudential World Cup
Player of the match: Mohinder Amarnath
