Twenty five years have passed by and still the memories are afresh in our minds. Its on the same date India won its first cricket world cup at Lords, London. It’s a day no Indian will ever forget. Kapil Dev and his boys took on the mighty Clive Lloyds West Indies team. The odds were 61:1 against India. India played first and scored only 183 which was a small target for great team like West Indies. But Indian team played so well that they defended the small total and defeated the West Indies comfortably. Many described that as David slaying Goliath. Whatever it be , those 11 players brought glory to our country which is embarked in cricket history forever.
