It was India's first of two 50-over World Cup wins, with former Indian captain MS Dhoni securing the second in 2011 at home. Remembering the occasion, the official BCCI Twitter handle on Friday posted a picture of the former all-rounder lifting the World Cup and wrote, "#OnThisDay in 1983: A historic day for the Indian cricket as the @therealkapildev-led #TeamIndia lifted the World Cup Trophy." Considered as one of India's finest achievements on a cricketing field, Team India came out victorious against a mighty West Indian side consisting of the likes of Joel Garner, Andy Roberts, Vivian Richards, skipper Clive Lloyd among others. Having lost the toss, India had to dig deep to post 183 runs in 54.4 overs. Kris Srikkanth, Mohinder Amarnath and Sandeep Patil rose to the occasion and batted courageously against a dangerous bowling attack.
