Answer 2

Amarnath is known for his legendary performance in the 1983 Cricket World Cup. He was awarded "Man of the Series", having led India to their first ever one-day international title.

In the semi-finals against England his accurate seam bowling fetched him the top-order wickets of David Gower and Michael Gatting. He gave away only 27 runs in his 12 overs, for an average of 2.25 an over, the lowest among all Indian bowlers. Returning to bat, he scored 46 runs to give India a solid start. He was named the Man of the Match.

In the finals India batted first against the West Indies which arguably boasted the world's best bowling attack. The team did not fare well, with the entire team being dismissed for a low score of 183 in 54.4 overs, well short of the allotted 60 overs. Amarnath gave the Indian innings some much needed stability, lasting the longest of all Indian batsmen. He occupied the crease for the longest period (80 balls) and scored 26 runs. Though normally in limited over matches a long stint at the crease in not necessarily a good thing, given that India did not last the entire 60 overs Amarnath's innings gave the batsmen at the other end the opportunity to score. Kris Srikkanth top-scored with 38 runs, followed by Sandeep Patil (27 runs) and Amarnath. After the poor batting performance India's chances were deemed almost non-existent. However the Indian bowling exploited the weather and pitch conditions perfectly to bowl out the West Indies for 140, thus winning the finals by 43 runs. Amarnath and Madan Lal were the joint highest wicker takers, 3 wickets each. As he had been in the semi-finals, Amarnath was once again the most economical bowler, conceeding only 12 runs in his 7 overs for an average of 1.71 per over. Again, similar to the semi-finals, Amarnath was declared the Man of the Match.

Answer 3

Because he took 3 wickets and also steadied the innings when wickets were falling at the other end and scored 28 runs in the low scoring match.

Answer 4

The final was a low scoring affair. Mohinder contributed in both batting & bowling. His was the second highest in the Indian innings.

Answer 5

7 overs, 12runs and 3 wickets plus 26 runs he scored while batting had earned him the man of the match award.
srikanth scored only 38 runs.
madanlal took 3 wickets and scored 17 runs.

Answer 6

jimmy got 3 wickets in the final with his clever bowling.~
