The 2015 edition of the cricket World Cup kicks-off on February 14. Fourteen countries will battle it out in Australia and New Zealand till to March 29 for cricket’s biggest prize.
In 1983 Kapil Dev’s 'devils' changed the face of the One-day game in India by winning the crown for the first time. The image of him lifting the coveted trophy will always be etched in the memories of the Indians.
Viv Richards seemed intent on winning the final against underdogs India on his own after the West Indies had been set a modest 184 to win.
He struck seven boundaries in his 33 from 28 balls before top-edging a hook which India captain Kapil Dev, running away from the pitch towards the boundary at mid-wicket, coolly collected.
The West Indies imploded thereafter and India recorded a famous 43-run victory. That success was to have profound implications at home where One-day cricket quickly superseded the Test game as the most popular form of the sport.
