Kapil Dev led India to a historic win over West Indies at Lord's on 25 June 1983 in the final of the Prudential World Cup; and this victory reshaped Indian cricket. But, itcertainly didn't look that way when India was bowled out for 183. India's medium-pacers though bowled splendidly to bundle out the mighty West Indies for 140 and script a memorable victory.
