The day of June 25, 1983, has been immortalized in the history of Indian cricket. On this day the Indian team registered an unexpected victory. Let us tell you that probably no one expected the victory of the Indian team. The main reason for this was the presence of the world champion team of West Indies as a rival, but the historic ground at Lord’s became a witness to the victory of the Indian team. 

Team India was reduced to just 183 runs in the final match. No one expected India to win that day. Srikkanth scored the most runs for India. Captain Kapil Dev had scored fifteen runs. Chasing India’s target of 183 runs, the West Indies team scored fifty runs easily. 

Sir Vivian Richards’s batting also ensured West Indies’ victory. But the superb bowling of Mohinder Amarnath and Madan Lal gave a befitting reply to the West Indies. West Indies had lost their six wickets for just 76 runs. In the end, the entire West Indies team was bowled out for 140 runs in 52 overs. And thus by winning by 43 runs, India emerged as the world champion.
