one of the most glorious moments in the history of Indian Cricket and among the biggest cricketing upsets in the early 1980's was India's win over West Indies in the World Cup final.
India had defeated west indies in their first game of the tournament, but The dominant West Indies were still the overwhelming favourites to win the cup.
Having set a target of 184 to win, west Indies bundled out easily to gift India the memorable victory.
Balwinder Singh Sandhu's in swinger to get Gordon Greenidge bowled, Kapil Dev's 30 yard run to take Viv Richards' catch, Krish Srikanth cover drive of Andy Roberts are some of the most memorable moments from that match.
In 1983, when majority of India couldn't view the match on television, had to listen to the radio commentary.
Here is the video of the special match that brings back the nostalgic moments
