On this day, 42 years ago, India Kapil Dev impressed the cricket world by defeating the powerful Western India to claim its first ICC World Cup at Lord’s. The triumph not only transformed the sports environment in India, but also triggered a generation of dreams, one of which belonged to ten -year -old Sachin Tendulkař. Now he was widely considered to be one of the greatest doughs in the history of the game, Tendulkar took the X to the anniversary of this iconic victory to share how he changed his life forever this moment. “I was just 10 when India won the World Cup on this day of 1983. The moment caused a dream and the dream became my way,” he wrote a legend as he shared a picture of an iconic group that scripted history three decades ago. Indian victory of losers against double ruling champions was not just a sporty upset, but rather it was a statement of faith and gravel. Indian pitchners, who defended the modest 183 on a living playground, dismantled the western India line -up with stars, which included legends such as Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd and Desmond Haynes.
