The 1983 Cricket World Cup (officially the Prudential Cup '83) was the 3rd edition of the Cricket World Cup tournament. It was held from 9 to 25 June 1983 in England and Wales and was won by India. Eight countries participated in the event. The 1983 World Cup was full of dramatic cricket all through the tournament. Teams like India and Zimbabwe who were not playing well during those times scored victories over the West Indies and Australia respectively. England, Pakistan, India and tournament favourites West Indies qualified for the semi-finals. The preliminary matches were played in two groups of four teams each, and each country played the others in its group twice. The top two teams in each group qualified for the semi-finals. #ghca #goldenhand #ghca7777 #cricket #GhcaGoldenHandCricketAnalytics #cricketinfo #crickethistory #history #indian #india #cricketer #kapildev #1983worldcup #teamindia https://www.instagram.com/p/CBNADDrFWtF/?igshid=jqqkxgq6fa0r

The beginning of the first World Cup - and an infamous go-slow from Sunil Gavaskar. Having decided that India had no chance of victory after Dennis Amiss smacked England to 334 for 4, Gavaskar booked in for an extended net. In 60 overs he crawled to 36 not out off 174 balls, to the chagrin of his coach, his captain... and one spectator, who was moved to march out and drop his lunch on the pitch. England won by 202 runs after India closed on 132 for 3 - it was the biggest one-day victory until 1984-85. #GHCA #G.H.C.A #cricket #GhcaGoldenHandCricketAnalytics #goldenhand #cricketinfo #crickethistory #history #indian #cricketer #sunilgavaskar https://www.instagram.com/p/CBKyoPOl0Wt/?igshid=1ee6tkdg2dusv
