The 1983 World Cup was the turning point in world cricket. The dominance of the West Indies had come to an end. And this was the last world cup to be held in England. The <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/icc-t20-world-cup-2022-top-5-fast-bowlers-for-indian-cricket-team/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indian Cricket Team </a>led by Kapil Dev fought all the odds and won the trophy. The tournament also saw one of the best innings in world cricket by Kapil Dev. The Windies team was also on a roll. They played exceptional cricket and so did Pakistan. The Indian team had several great players like<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/fans-lashes-out-at-sunil-gavaskar-for-disrespectful-comments-on-shimron-hetmyers-wife/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Sunil Gavaskar</a>, Dilip Vengsakar, Syed Kirmani, and many others. But where are they now? Here is an in-depth look:&nbsp;



<h2>Sunil Gavaskar was a part of the 1983 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



Sunil Gavaskar was a part of the 1983 World Cup-winning team. Gavaskar from then on went on to become the first player on the planet to score 10,000 runs. Gavaskar left behind him a true legacy. It was carried on by Sachin Tendulkar and then later by Virat Kohli. He has been involved in almost every major role in Indian cricket management. He was the chief advisor of the Indian Cricket Team in 2004. This position is today called as being the ?Mentor?. He has also been the Chairman of the ICC. Sunil Gavaskar has also served as the President of the BCCI for a selected period in 2014. His contribution to Indian cricket has been immense. &nbsp;

One generation has seen Gavaskar as a player and the other as a broadcaster. He is India?s top commentator. Gavaskar is fearless and a very smart linguist. He has always been critical of the mishappenings on the pitch and doesn?t shy away from being politically incorrect at times. This just shows the freedom that he has while commentating.&nbsp;



<h2>Krishnamachari Srikkanth was a part of the 1983 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



Srikkanth was a younger player among these senior players in the 1983 World Cup-winning team. Cheeka as he is popularly known played a big part in the final scoring 38 runs. He has also played a part in the Indian Cricket Team?s 2011 World Cup Triumph as he was the chief selector back then. He picked the squad that helped India win their second ODI World Cup. Srikkanth is included in the panel of the All India Council of Sports (AICS) as a member in January 2020. Cheeka has helped in grooming youngsters when he was the coach of the India A team. He is currently associated with Star Sports as a Tamil commentator.&nbsp;



<h2>Mohinder Amarnath was a part of the 1983 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>

Mohinder Amarnath, the son of Lala Amarnath was an integral part of India?s 1983 campaign. His spell in the final match flipped the game in India?s favor. Amarnath has tried his hand at coaching ever since his retirement. He was also featured in a TV show named ?Cricket with Mohinder Amarnath?. At his time, he was the top all-rounder in the cricketing circuit. &nbsp;



<h2>Yashpal Sharma was a part of the 1983 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



Yashpal Sharma was ?India?s Forever Crisis Man? as regarded by Sunil Gavaskar. Sharma walked to bat at number 4 or 5. He was a big match player. Yash was a fun-loving character on the field. Yashpal Sharma retired in the 1991-1992 season. He also gave some time for umpiring games. Later on, he was appointed as the Chief Selector of the Indian Cricket team in 2004. He built the base for the 2011 World Cup as players like MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, and Yuvi were drafted into the national team. He was the coach for the UP Ranji squad in 2012. The unfortunate demise of Yashpal happened due to a cardiac arrest in 2021. &nbsp;



<h2>Sandeep Patil was a part of the 1983 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>

Sandeep Patil, the charismatic freak from the 1983 World Cup-winning team has immensely contributed to Indian Cricket. Post his retirement Sandeep tried his hand at acting in Bollywood. He, later on, switched his position to being the manager of age-group cricket in India. He was the first individual to work on minimizing age fraud in cricket. His biggest achievement post-retirement was the fact that he led Kenya, the underdogs to the World Cup semifinal in 2003 as a coach. Sandeep currently associates himself with Star Sports as a Marathi commentator and analyst. He was also the chairman of the Indian Selection Committee in 2012.&nbsp;



<h2>Kapil Dev was a part of the 1983 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/05/Kapil-Dev-min.jpg" alt="Kapil Dev 1983 World Cup" class="wp-image-90164" width="800" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: TOI</figcaption></figure>



Kapil Dev became the nation?s heartthrob after the triumph of the 1983 World Cup. Dev is currently playing golf in charity tournaments and is enjoying the riches of his life. He was the only one who believed that the Indian team would get their hands on the World Cup. He could foresee the talent and potential that his teammates had. Dev worked as the coach of the Indian National team in 1999 after Ansuman Gaikwad. Kapil dev and his stint with the national team were marred by the match-fixing and betting allegations. He chose to stay away from the game for 5 to 6 years. Kapil returned in 2004 as a bowling consultant for the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore. He also is the chancellor of the Haryana Sports University. &nbsp;



<h2>Madan Lal was a part of the 1983 World Cup: &nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/05/Madan-lal-min.jpg" alt="Madan Lal" class="wp-image-90165" width="900" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Zee News.</figcaption></figure>



Madan Lal will always be celebrated for taking the wicket of Viv Richards in the big final. Lal worked in various sporting organizations post-retirement. He coached the UAE national team in 1996. He also took up the job of the Indian National team coach later in 1996 for a year. Madan Lal was appointed as a chief coach in the Sanjay Jagdale Cricket Academy, the MPCA?s job in 2010. Lal also entered into politics in 2010 in Himachal Pradesh. He stood against Anurag Thakur and stood for the Indian National Congress. &nbsp;



<h2>Roger Binny was a part of the 1983 World Cup: &nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/05/Roger-Binny-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="Roger Binny" class="wp-image-90163" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: TOI</figcaption></figure>



The leading wicket-taker and tail-ending batter of the 1983 World Cup have immense contributions. He currently works at the Karnataka State Cricket Association. Year after year, under his watch, Karnataka has become a giant in domestic cricket. Manish Pandey, Karun Nair, Prasidh Krishna, Mayank Agarwal, Devdutt Padikkal, KL Rahul, K Gowtham, and Shreyas Gopal are all players given by Roger Binny. Under his watch, the KSCA is doing very well. &nbsp;



<h2>Ravi Shastri was a part of the 1983 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/05/Ravi-Shastri-min.jpg" alt="1983 World Cup Ravi Shastri." class="wp-image-90162" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Zee News</figcaption></figure>



Ravi Shastri needs no introduction. He has been in the public eye recently. After ending his international career at the young age of 31, Shastri moved to commentary and broadcasting. Ravi Shastri has had two successful stints with the Indian national team as the coach. He was associated with the team after Duncan Fletcher in 2014 and coached till 2016. He made sure that India wins the test mace once in 2017. &nbsp;



After Anil Kumble resigned from the position in 2018, Shastri was again appointed. He along with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma took Indian Cricket to new heights. They assured dominance over the Test format for over 6 years. After all these years, every cricket fan can still listen to Ravi Shastri?s commentary as he is now associated with Star Sports, the official broadcaster of the IPL.&nbsp;



<h2>Kirti Azad:&nbsp;</h2>



Kirti Azad will always be cherished for taking the big wicket of Ian Botham in the 1983 World Cup game against England. Azad didn?t play much at the top-most level. He went into politics immediately. But his exploits in politics are immense. He fought all his elections from Darbhanga in Bihar. He first won the elections from the Bhartiya Janata Party. Azad was then removed from the party after he rightly accused Arun Jaitley, the then finance minister of some wrongdoings. He later switched to the Indian National Congress and currently is a member of the Trinamool Congress.&nbsp;



<h2>Dilip Vengsarkar:&nbsp;</h2>



Dilip Vengsarkar was one player who had effectively filled the void of Sunil Gavaskar in the Indian National team. In the second game against the West Indies, he was playing well until the ?Big 4? decided to use bodyline tactics against him. Dilip post-retirement has also contributed a lot to the development of the game. Vengsarkar was the one who scouted and picked Virat Kohli and got him to the national team. He chose Virat over Subramaniam Badrinath and today Virat is the face of international cricket. Dilip has also started an Elf-Vengsarkar academy. He has also been the VP of the MCA since 2003.&nbsp;



<h2>Balwinder Singh Sandhu was a part of the 1983 World Cup:&nbsp;</h2>



Balwinder Singh Sandhu swung the ball like a magician on the day of the victory. Legend says that Gordon Greenidge is still wondering how the ball swung so much. Balwinder Singh Sandhu's post-retirement lends his hand to Kenyan Cricket and its development. He also worked as the Chief Coach of the Mumbai Cricket Association. His contribution to the Punjab Cricket Association is unmatched. Sandhu also helped Director Kabir Khan to deal with the minutes of the movie ?83? which was based on the 1983 World Cup victory of India. &nbsp;



<h2>Syed Kirmani:&nbsp;</h2>



Syed Kirmani and his slow knock against Zimbabwe will always cherish. He was in the best seat and could see Kapil Dev bash all the bowlers. Syed Kirmani and his work in Hyderabad in the field of sport is too good. &nbsp;



<h2>Sunil Valson:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/05/Sunil-Valson-min-1024x768.jpg" alt="Sunil Valson 1983 World Cup" class="wp-image-90161" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Navbharat Times.</figcaption></figure>



Sunil Valson has one of the best stories regarding the 1983 World Cup. Imagine not getting a chance even after being in the top 13. That must be a tough pill to swallow and Sunil did exactly that. He was the rock that allowed Kapil Dev to play all his cards. Valson was a complete team man. He is currently the manager of the Delhi Capitals. &nbsp;

1983 World Cup: Indian Cricket Team, where are they now?&nbsp;

India fast bowler Akash Deep talked about the plans the team has made to stop the Australia batter Travis Head in the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He revealed that they will be using the short ball ploy against the batter early in his innings. 
Australia batter Travis Head has been the biggest nightmare of the Indian team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The left-hander has troubled the Rohit Sharma-led side a lot in the series and the bowlers so far seem to have no answers to the carnage by him. 
Travis Head is the leading run-getter in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and this surely reveals the kind of impact that he has made. The batter has batted with sheer dominance and has hardly put a foot wrong in the series, which has seen three games being played so far. 
Travis Head slammed a solid half-century in the Perth Test and followed it up with a dominating ton in the pink-ball Test. If this was not enough, the batter hit another brutal ton in the Gabba game and took the game away from India. 
<h2>We’ll target specific areas and hope to force him into mistakes - Akash Deep on Travis Head </h2>
With Indian bowlers struggling against Travis Head, Akash Deep leaked the plan of the Indian team to bowl against the batter. He said that they will be sticking to the same deliveries and maintaining discipline in their bowling. 
He pointed out that the batter struggles to get going against short balls and they will try to execute that and won't let the batter settle at all. While speaking to reporters, he explained: 
"As fast bowlers, we will stick to the same deliveries and maintain discipline in our bowling. We will bowl from both over and around the wicket, assess the pitch and conditions, and plan accordingly. 
"I think Travis Head, in particular, struggles against short balls. We won’t let him settle at the crease. We’ll target specific areas and hope to force him into mistakes, which will create chances for us." 
Overall in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Travis Head has scored 409 runs at an average of 81.80, with two centuries and an 89-run knock. He would be keen to carry on and help Australia win the last two games of the series.

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has issued a massive warning to the Australia team ahead of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He said that they need to win one game out of the two remaining and they will retain the trophy. 
The Test series between India and Australia is levelled at 1-1. Both the teams displayed magnificent performances in the first three games, and the focus moves towards the fourth Test, which will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from 26th December, which will be a Boxing Day match. 
While it was India who registered a massive 295-run win in Perth, Australia fought back and won the next game in Adelaide by 10 wickets. The Gabba Test ended in a draw, and now the stage is all set for the most important match of the series, which will be a virtual series decider. 
India hasn't lost a Boxing Day Test against Australia in the last 12 years, and it will be a massive opportunity for the team to win. If they manage to win the match, they will retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and also will inch one step closer to the final of the ICC World Test Championship final, which will be played next year. 
<h2>Even if we win one match out of the next two, we will retain the series - Ravindra Jadeja </h2>
Ravindra Jadeja, who attended the short press conference, admitted that they are in a good position. But he also was quick to quip that if they win even one game, they will retain the series. He is confident that they will complete a hat-trick of wins in Australia. Speaking to reporters, he explained:
"We are in a good position, after three matches, it's still 1-1. It is going to be interesting. Even if we win one match out of the next two, we will retain the series because we have won the last two times here. 
"It's a good opportunity to push ourselves and do well in Melbourne. Yes, we will worry about the last match later, the focus now is on the Boxing Day Test. It's a crucial game for us." 
Ravindra Jadeja will be extremely important for India going into the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The all-rounder played a vital role for India in the last match, where he made a comeback and played a magnificent innings of 77 runs with the bat.

India skipper Rohit Sharma has been putting hard yards in the nets ahead of the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The match between the two teams will get underway on 26th December at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. 
Rohit Sharma has struggled immensely with the bat in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The skipper has managed just 19 runs in the 4 innings that he has played, and this has seen him facing a lot of criticism for his poor returns with the bat in an important series. 
Rohit Sharma, who missed the first Test, has been batting in the middle order in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The premier batter has allowed KL Rahul to take the role at the top, but moving down the order hasn't done anything great to him either, as he has looked clueless while batting at No.6. 
With pressure mounting on him, Rohit Sharma is making sure that he gives his best and prepares himself fully for the Melbourne game. As per the reports in RevSportz, it is learned that the Indian captain is putting hard yards in the nets and has left no stone unturned ahead of the MCG Test. 
<h2>Rohit Sharma displayed precise footwork and moved his feet well in nets </h2>
The reports claimed that Rohit Sharma batted for 1 hour 20 minutes. The captain displayed precise footwork and moved well. He wasn't going for every ball and trusted his defence. The most important thing was he was looking hungry to bat. 
The upcoming fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be extremely important for the Indian team. Witn series being levelled at 1-1, it will be a massive opportunity for Rohit Sharma and his men to take a lead and retain the Trophy and also put one step closer to the ICC World Test Championship final. 
The focus will be on Rohit Sharma as he will be looking to silence all these critics and play a big innings with the bat. If India has to fancy their chances of winning, they would want the skipper to step up and take the team to win in the next game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been accused of deliberately fighting with the Australian media ahead of the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The Australian media targeted the left-hander for not answering questions in English. 
This came after Ravindra Jadeja attended the press conference ahead of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The all-rounder couldn't attend to the reporters for a long as they had to catch the team bus, which was heading towards the ground for a practice session. 
The Australian media claimed that Ravindra Jadeja answered questions in Hindi and didn't reply anything in English. This came even though he knew that there were Australian reporters as well, and yet he didn't say anything in English that didn't go well with the media people there. 
The Australian media also recently fought with Virat Kohli at the Melbourne airport. This was because they clicked the pictures of his family without his consent, and it didn't go well with Batter, who lashed out at the media, telling them they couldn't film him without his family. 
With the fresh controversy over Ravindra Jadeja, Indian media also has hit out at the Australian media. The reports in RevSportz claimed that it wasn't mandatory to reply to questions in English and added that the all-rounder still managed a 9-minute press conference despite the team bus waiting for him. 
<h2>Ravindra Jadeja will be extremely important for India going into the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25</h2>
Ravindra Jadeja will be extremely important for India going into the last two games of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The all-rounder played a vital role for India in the last match, where he made a comeback and played a magnificent innings of 77 runs with the bat. 
His innings came at a crucial time when India lost early wickets and was under massive pressure. Jadeja's knock helped India avoid the follow-on and draw the match. The series between the two teams is now levelled at 1-1 and the next game will be played in Melbourne on 26th December.

India had a hard-fought draw at the Gabba in Brisbane, which has helped them to enter the fourth test with the series poised at 1-1. The fourth test between India and Australia will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which will start on December 26. It will be the Boxing Day Test, which is the showpiece of this summer.

In what has been the latest development as per the former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif, India vs Pakistan series might be around the corner. His comments came following the ICC announcement that India and Pakistan won't be travelling to each other's country till 2027. 
Rashid Latif claimed that both the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) are set to organize the tournament that will benefit both the BCCI as well as PCB. This is because ICC, BCCI, PCB and ACB are all set to face financial loss after the recent decision made on the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
However, to compensate for that, a new formula has come into the mind and has got serious consideration. According to this, India and Pakistan will be playing each other at neutral venues. But it won't be only the two arch-rivals playing in the series. 
The reports added that it will be a tri-series type tournament that will involve India, Pakistan, who will be getting the majority of its income shared, and one more high-ranking team. This will also help broadcasters recover from the loss that they will be facing from India and Pakistan not visiting each other's country. 
This comes as massive news for the fans as both India and Pakistan last played each other in the bilateral series in 2012. After that, the two teams have been playing against each other only in the ICC and ACC events. If this happens, it could be the biggest thing in world cricket. 
<h2>India and Pakistan will be locking horns with each other next in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
India and Pakistan will be locking horns with each other next in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The official schedule of the tournament will be coming soon, and it is expected that two arch-rivals will be playing at the Dubai in the event, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
The last time India and Pakistan played was in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. It saw India winning the game from the jaws of defeat and it remains to be seen what will be the result this time around when they two play each other in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India vs Pakistan bilateral series all set to resume? Massive update comes

There is so far no clarity related to Mohammed Shami's participation in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. However, the fast bowler was recently named in the Bengal squad for the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 and was expected to play the opening game of the tournament. 
However, Mohammed Shami has been rested for the Bengal’s Vijay Hazare Trophy opener against Delhi on Saturday in Hyderabad. The development was confirmed by the Cricket Association of Bengal and it sparks rumours about another injury for the fast bowler. 
Mohammed Shami, who has been out of action since the ICC World Cup 2023, recently made a comeback to cricket during the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 and also featured in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25. He picked 9 wickets in the T20 tournament and took his team to knockouts. 
It was expected that Mohammed Shami after that Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy would fly out to Australia but the fast bowler didn't go and was asked to play in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25. But him being rested now raises quite a few eyebrows about his fitness with important games ahead. 
<h2>There have been some complaints about his knee - Mohammed Shami</h2>
The speculations about Mohammed Shami's injury got more intense when Rohit Sharma, after the Gabba Test, mentioned that the fast bowler had some issues with his knee. He had said: 
“I think it’s high time somebody from NCA talks about him, where he is rehabbing… Those guys are the ones who need to come up and give us some kind of update." 
“I understand he’s playing a lot of cricket back home, but there have been some complaints about his knee as well. We won’t take any risks unless we are 200% sure about his fitness." 
It remains to be seen when will Mohammed Shami make his comeback for India. There are fewer chances that he might play in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, and he is now expected to make a comeback in the ODI series against England, followed by the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Fresh injury scare for Mohammed Shami? Pacer being rested for VHT game fuels rumours

India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has proved to be the game-changer for his team in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, no doubt. But this time around, he has almost ended the International career of young Australian opener Nathan McSweeney, who made his debut in Perth. 
Nathan McSweeney, who has been a consistent performer in the Australian domestic circuit, became a bunny of Jasprit Bumrah in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler had his number each time they faced in the ongoing series. 
Jasprit Bumrah removed him 4 times in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and didn't let the batter score freely. He removed him twice in Perth, once in Adelaide and once in Gabba and put his team at the top right from the start. 
<h2>Sam Konstas replaces Nathan McSweeney in the Australian team </h2>
Amid his struggles against Jasprit Bumrah, Nathan McSweeney has been dropped from the Australia team for the last two squads of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. In his place, the team has added Sam Konstas for the Melbourne and Sydney tests. 
As per the reports in Code Sports, it is learned that Sam Konstas will be playing the Melbourne Test. The batter will be making his debut for the team and would be keen to grab the opportunity with Nathan McSweeney now being dropped from the team for the last two games. 
On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah has been right on the money with his bowling in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler is the leading wicket-taker in the series and has been looking threatening with the ball so far in the three games that he has played. 
Jasprit Bumrah has picked 21 wickets in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The pacer has 7 wickets more than Mitchell Starc, who is the second-leading wicket-taker in the series. The India pacer would be looking to carry on his form and help his team win the last two games.
