In 1983, Kapil Dev led India to their first and only world cup win. Those were the golden days for India when they had players with outstanding skills.The final was played at Lords in England. India lost the toss and were asked to bat first against a West Indies team that arguably boasted the world's best bowling attack.Only Amarnath (26 from 108 balls) and Kris Srikkanth (38 from 82 balls) put up any significant resistance as Roberts, Marshall, Joel Garner and Michael Holding ripped through the line-up, ably supported by Gomes. Surprising resistance by the tail allowed India to compile 183 in 54.4 overs. However, the Indian bowling exploited the weather and pitch conditions perfectly to bowl out the West Indies for 140 in return, winning by 43 runs. Amarnath and Madan Lal (3-31) each took three wickets and one memorable moment was the sight of Kapil Dev running a great distance to take a catch to dismiss Richards, West Indies top scorer with 33. Amarnath was the most economical bowler, conceeding just 12 runs from his seven overs and was once again awarded the Man of the Match award for his all-round performance.

This was the last WC cricket to be played with the traditional white clothing and the red cherry. India successfully defended the paltry score of 183 runs by bowling West Indies out for 140 runs. This was in England in a tournament which was conducted on 60 overs a side basis for the last time, in a World cup.
