Tit Bits:
§ The Prudential Cup was lifted by Kapil Dev, captain of the India who got first time for his country.
§ There was no 'Man of the Series' awarded in 1983.
§ The 1983 World Cup was full of dramatic cricket right from the start. Teams like India and Zimbabwe who were not playing well at those times scored upset victories over the West Indies and Australia respectively.
§ The physical trophy won by the Indian cricket team was damaged during a violent rampage on the Indian cricket board's headquarters, allegedly carried out by members of the Hindu nationalist group Shiv Sena. According to Shiv Sena Leaders, they were protesting against the entry of Pakistan Cricket Team in India after the Kargil War conflict which brought the two nations on the brink of a major war like situation.
§ In Final India Vs West Indies One memorable moment was the sight of Kapil Dev running a great distance (about 18-20 yards) to take a catch to dismiss Richards, the West Indies top scorer with 33 from 28 balls.
