June 25, 1983, no one can forget this day in the history of Indian cricket. India shocked everyone by standing on England soil. Today is a memorable, special day. As long as there is cricket in India, this day will never be forgotten. 40 years ago on this day, India won the first ICC Trophy.
It has been 40 years since Team India won the first World Cup. In 1983, they won against the mighty West Indies and became champions. But at that time the condition of Indian cricket was bad.
Today it is 40 years since Team India won the first World Cup under the captaincy of Kapil Dev. On June 25, 1983, India created history by winning the final against two-time World Cup winners West Indies by 43 runs at the historic Lord’s ground in London.
After winning the ICC World Cup in 1983, a new era began in Indian cricket. Before winning this ODI World Cup, Team India had exited at the league stage in the 1975 and 1979 World Cups. India won only 2 matches in these tournaments. West Indies became the champion in those two tournaments. But India shocked the West Indies who were hoping for a hat-trick victory. England hosted the tournament that year. It was not expected that India will become the champion and win the first trophy in this tournament.
