The Indian cricket team defied all odds, expectations and made history on June 25, 1983 by winning its first cricket World Cup crown, defeating the mighty West Indies in the final by 43 runs at Lord's.
The former chairman of selectors recalled that the Board office bearers had announced a bonus of Rs 25,000 for them for reaching the final.
'Perhaps the biggest change is in terms of mindset when it comes to the art of the possible when chasing.'
'A modern team knows that knocking off 120 runs in 10 overs is eminently possible.' 'When things click, that can translate into 450 in 50 overs,' says Devangshu Datta.
