New Delhi. The year 1983 can be called the most memorable for Indian cricket lovers. Under the captaincy of Kapil Dev, India then won the World Cup title for the first time. This victory is also considered important because the team defeated the 2-time world champion and the West Indies team, which is considered strong. This victory has completely changed the thinking of cricket in the country. Kapil turned out to be a big star and gradually the game became a big identity. Who does not even know a veteran batsman like Sunil Gavaskar. He is the first player to score 10,000 runs in Test cricket.
