India's 1983 World Cup Winning Team: Where Are They Now?

India created history on June 25, 1983, beating the mighty West Indies at the hallowed Lord's Cricket Ground to lift the World Cup for the first time. This was the third edition of the one-day World Cup. Nobody gave India a chance of winning after their forgettable showing in the first two editions in 1975 and 1979. However, Kapil Dev's men stunned the world by reaching the final and defeating the Windies by 43 runs in the final. West Indies had dominated the earlier two editions, cruising to victories. India's triumph marked a power shift. They became a major force in the game, while West Indies never reached the ODI World Cup final after 1983. But where are India's World Cup heroes now? Let's take a look.

KAPIL DEV: The captain who inspired India's turnaround with a sensational 175 against Zimbabwe in a must-win match went on to represent the country till 1994. Kapil Dev took the iconic running catch to dismiss Viv Richards in the final at Lord's. The wicket turned around the match on its head. More significantly, he turned a bunch of no-hopers into a match-winning outfit. The image of Kapil lifting the World Cup at the Lord's balcony remains one of the most poignant moments in Indian cricket history. At the time of retirement, he held the record for most Test wickets - 434. He also claimed 253 in 225 ODIS. He was the coach for 10 months between October 1999 and August 2000 but quit in the wake of an unsubstantiated match-fixing allegation. He remains connected with the game as an expert and is not wary of speaking his mind. He has been critical of the Indian team several times. He has also found a second love in golf.
