In this rare interview India's legendary captain Kapil Dev talks about how India progressed to World Cup victory in 1983. The interview was done by BBC's veteran broadcaster Krishna Gould. India gave a hint of determination by winning its first match against West Indies at Old Trafford. Kapil Dev says from that moment he was sure of reaching the semi-finals. He says victory in the finals was a joint team effort. In the match Kapil took a dramatic catch of Viv Richards that changed the course of the match. Richards later said about this catch: "Kapil changed everything with one brilliant catch... I only know that at the end of the game, there were a lot of sick people in our dressing room. We felt sick that we could not win that game." Here is the story of the golden moment of Indian cricket in the words of Indian captain.
Never before he had betrayed such emotions on the ground. After breaking Sunil Gavaskars' record of 34 Test centuries at Delhi's Pherozshah Kotla ground an ecstatic Tendulkar jumped with joy, thanked his stars and publicly prayed to his god. After the play he expressed his gratitude to his coach Ramakant Achrekar, his late father Ramesh Tendulkar, his brother Ajit Tendulkar.
