If I have to go by what my father told me of the celebrations, this was probably the biggest celebration the country had seen post Independence. We were not even considered a team who could have won & Kapil's team made it to the top.
Here we list down the 7 Reasons why we think India deserved to be world champions.
1. They played fearless cricket & did not worry about the bowling & batting that West Indies had at that time.
2. They all had DREAMS which were cultivated in a small towns
3. They were modest in their approach & took one step at a time.
4. They believed in their abilities more & did not discount themselves in comparison to the opposition.
5. This was needed to make a country a Cricket Crazy that it is today.
6. Each member of that team was passionate about the game of cricket above everything else.
7. They were lead by an inspiring captain like Kapil Dev.
Debates will go on & the game of cricket will live forever but this achievement by Kapil's Devil will always be the reason for what the game is today. Period!
