Memories of 1983 Cricket World Cup

1983 Cricket World Cup...the 3rd ever Cricket world Cup, hosted by England..and WON BY TEAM INDIA..!!!
 Lets relive the entire tournament's highlights in the video.


Can any one decide why we won the Wolrd Cup?
Is it the great innings of 175 by Kapil Dev that helped us to reach the semi final?
Is it Mohinder Amaranth's all round performance?
Is it the blistering innings of Srikant in the final?
Is it the banana ball of Sandhu who got out dangerous Gorden Grinich?
Is it the great Catch by Kapil Dev of Sir Vivian Richards who was literally taking the Indian bowling apart?

We might not have won if any of the above would not have happened. It was all about the team performance, where every individual played beyond his abilities and gave more than 100% to play their important part in the victory. They created the history by beating the strong West Indian team.

I wasn't there...when Kapil Dev lifted the World Cup at Lords. But, I have been watching the final of 1983 World Cup many times. The Cup that inspired entire nation including Sachin Tendulkar. The memories and repeat telecasts still inspires us and we relive the victory.

Now, Its time to create history again, to win the world cup and show the world that we are the Champions. In this final there will b immense pressure on the players. But, they have to produce the performance never before, the performance that can win us the world cup, the performance which they can take proud of forever, the performance like champions. For that they just need to focus on their job, and play as 1 unit. 1 for all...all for 1. It's only team performance that can win and every player will play their role and lead TEAM INDIA to Victory.

In the Final, whoever plays should be able to handle the pressure and should be playing for pride, for victory. Weather it is Ashvin or it is Nehra, it doesn't make any difference. The team management will decide who will play according to the pitch. but, whoever plays, should understand their responsibilities and their role. Well, that's all I have to say.

Team India, It's the cup that counts. your best ever chance to do something for Sachin and of course for the 121 crore fans. From the 3 M, Motera and Mohali have been won, It's now turn of Mumbai. to all the supporters, keep supporting and keep praying for them, and they will do it....."Yeh World Cup to humara hai..!!!" Team india....De Ghuma ke ghuma ke world cup de...


Chak de India....JAI HIND..!!
