'I Was Just 10 When...': Sachin Tendulkar Reminisces India's 1983 World Cup Win
Last Updated: Sachin Tendulkar has reminisced about India's 1983 World Cup win, which inspired his cricket journey. Batting legend Sachin Tendulkar has reminisced about India's maiden ODI World Cup win in 1983, saying how he, as a 10-year-old, decided to pursue cricket as a dream, which went on to become his journey. Wednesday marks the 42nd anniversary of one of India's biggest cricketing triumphs on the world stage. It was on June 25, 1983, that Kapil Dev & Co. were crowned champions at the Lord's with an unbelievable win against the Windies. After winning the coveted title in 1975 and 1979, the Windies were ready to add a third World Cup trophy to their rich cabinet and flex their dominant muscles, before India stopped them from bagging a hat-trick. 'I was just 10 when India won the World Cup on this day in 1983. That moment sparked a dream and that dream became my journey. 🏆🇮🇳," Tendulkar tweeted on Wednesday afternoon. India had beaten the Windies during the group stage, but the pressure of a World Cup final took its toll as they could just muster a score of a paltry 183. Opener Kris Srikkanth emerged as his side's top scorer, making 38, with senior pro Mohinder Amarnath and the aggressive Sandeep Patil being the sole other cricketers to enter 20s. In the chase, Windies lost Gordon Greenidge to Balwinder Sandhu early, before Desmond Haynes and the great Viv Richards added 45 runs for the second wicket. After Haynes was dismissed by Madan Lal, the Windies were soon reduced to 76/6 as India could smell blood. Wicketkeeper Jeff Dujon and Malcolm Marshall then added 43 runs for the seventh wicket, before the former was dismissed by Amarnath. Windies couldn't build any more partnerships and were bowled out for a paltry 140. India's pathbreaking win gave Kapil Dev a legacy-defining moment as his team inspired a generation of cricketers to take up cricket and to lift the World Cup for the nation, like Tendulkar. 28 years after Kapil Dev lifted the coveted trophy on the Lord's balcony, former India captain MS Dhoni finished off in style and unleashed countrywide celebrations with the 2011 World Cup victory. That win gave Tendulkar the much-coveted WC win, which he yearned for several years, playing six World Cups.

Sachin Tendulkar recalls how India's triumph in 1983 World Cup sparked dream which became his journey
New Delhi [India], June 25 (ANI): Legendary batting icon Sachin Tendulkar opened up about the impact the 1983 World Cup-winning Indian team left on him, sparking a dream that became the Master Blaster's journey. On June 25, 1983, a new era dawned when Kapil Dev and his troops inspired India to etch its name in history by conquering the impregnable West Indies to lift the prized World Cup trophy at the 'Home of Cricket', Lord's. India's storied moment changed the landscape of cricket in the nation and inspired an entire generation of players, including Sachin, who redefined the art of batting in his 24-year-long illustrious career. 'I was just 10 when India won the World Cup on this day in 1983. That moment sparked a dream, and that dream became my journey,' Sachin wrote on X. India's success wasn't a wanton whim but a belief that stemmed from a trust in their capabilities. In front of a jam-packed crowd in the final, India fought valiantly to put up 183 runs against the Caribbean side's ferocious pace troika of Andy Roberts, Malcolm Marshall and Michael Holding, with off-spinner Larry Gomes offering a variety in attack. In reply, even with the presence of cricket legends Viv Richards, Desmond Haynes and Clive Lloyd, the West Indies struggled to maintain a stable run flow and limped to 57/3. With a burst of attack, India made inroads in the West Indies' middle order to reduce them to 76/6. In an absorbing game filled with drama and emotions, the Caribbean pushed for a recovery and pulled themselves back from 76/6 to 119/6. The unprecedented bounce-back resulted from disciplined batting principles, but eventually, the resistance gave way and surrendered to a 43-run defeat. Kapil Dev lifting the trophy on the balcony of Lord's Cricket Ground is still an image to savour for all Indian fans. In the finals, Mohinder Amarnath was adjudged the Player of the Match with his 26 runs with the bat and three priceless wickets with the ball. (ANI)
