India Today  

In an interview to India Today, legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev had said the West Indies had more Champagne at the mid-innings break of the 1983 World Cup final than India. The scenes at Lord's after India's 1983 World Cup final triumph From rank outsiders to world champions: 'Weren't silly thinking we would win' India were rank outsiders. Gavaskar added that India weren't pessimistic about their chances but weren't too "silly" to think they would go on to win the World Cup in 1983. It is safe to say the image of Kapil Dev lifting the World Cup trophy at the Lord's balcony changed the dynamics of world cricket.
