On this day, India won the Cricket World Cup for the first time in 1983. Even after 37 years, the memories of this victory are fresh in the minds of every player of the team. The member of the World Cup winning team, Ramdan Lal, said on that day, "The victory achieved by fighting difficulties creates history." "At the same time, Team India's Head Coach Ravi Shastri said that the Indian team won the 1983 World Cup and laid the foundation of the game in the country and changed its face forever." Madan Lal further said, "In 1983, no one thought that we would become world champions. We won only two matches in the 1975 and 1979 World Cups. In such a situation, the 1983 World Cup victory was too big for the country. It was one of the biggest victories in cricket history, as we defeated 2-time champions West Indies in the final.

He further said that it was not the victory of any one player, but of the whole team. Everyone did well in the tournament, so we became champions.

India scored just 183 runs in the 1983 World Cup final, batting first against the West Indies. Srikanth scored the highest 38 runs for India. But the West Indies team could not achieve this goal and was defeated by 43 runs. Mohinder Amarnath was adjudged Player of the Match. He took 3 wickets with 26 runs scored.

In the final, Madan Lal took the important wicket of Vivian Richards. He still remembers this wicket. Lal said, "Richards was in great form in the 1983 World Cup. After dismissing him, the West Indies team came under pressure. After this, we continued to take wickets and the Caribbean team did not get a chance to recover. That's why we won. ”Harbhajan Singh and Mohammad Kaif also wished the Indian team that won the 1983 World Cup.
