'The victory. How did it happen? How did India overturn all predictions? Why did so many wickets tumble so cheaply? India performed one of the most mystical acts in her long cricket history -- Kapil Dev's merry men swung, seamed and caught their way through the rich list of Caribbean batting talent to win the Prudential World Cup. Joyful Indian crowds swarmed in front of the pavilion. The handsome captain, Kapil Dev, accepted the Cup from the president of the MCC, Sir Anthony Tuke.'

-- The Sunday Telegraph, Tony Lewis.
