1983 World Cup Final Vs West Indies

In the final, India lost the toss and were asked to bat first against a West Indies team that arguably boasted the world's best bowling attack. Only Mohinder Amarnath (26 from 80 balls) and Kris Srikkanth (38 from 57 balls) put up any significant resistance as Roberts, Marshall, Joel Garner and Michael Holding ripped through the Indian batsmen, ably supported by Gomes. Surprising resistance by the tail allowed India to compile 183 (all out, 54.4 overs). Only three sixes were hit in the Indian innings, one from Srikkanth, one from Sandeep Patil (27 from 29 balls), and one from Madan Lal (17 from 27 balls). However, the Indian bowling exploited the weather and pitch conditions perfectly to bowl out the best batting lineup of the era for 140 from 52 overs in return, winning by 43 runs and completing one of the most stunning upsets in cricket history, defeating the previously invincible West Indies. Amarnath and Madan Lal (3-31) each took three wickets, and one memorable moment was the sight of Kapil Dev running a great distance(about 18-20 yards) to take a catch to dismiss Richards, West Indies top scorer with 33 from 28 balls. Amarnath was the most economical bowler, conceding just 12 runs from his seven overs while taking 3 wickets, and was once again awarded the Man of the Match award for his all-round performance. ^[3] There was no 'Man of the Series' awarded in 1983.

Sehwag's Fastest ODI Century


By reaching his hundred off just 60 balls in the fourth one-day international against New Zealand on Wednesday, Sehwag established many records. We take a look:

Sehwag’s hundred is

• the fastest by an Indian in New Zealand. The previous fastest was off 101 balls by Sachin Tendulkar in the previous match at Christchurch.
  
• the fastest on New Zealand soil. The previous fastest was off 67 balls by New Zealand’s Craig McMillan against Australia at this same venue in 2007.
  
• the fastest by an Indian in ODIs. The previous fastest was off 62 balls by Mohammad Azharuddin also against New Zealand at Baroda in 1988.
  
• the fastest against New Zealand. The previous fastest was off 62 balls by India’s Mohammad Azharuddin at Baroda in 1988.
  
• the second fastest by any batsman while chasing a target. Only Shahid Afridi (off 45 balls against India at Kanpur in 2005) has scored a faster hundred.
  
• the seventh fastest off all time.
  
• his fourth off 75 or fewer balls. Only Sanath Jayasuriya (5) has done so on more occasions.

The 60-ball hundred by Virender Sehwag on Wednesday is the fastest by any Indian batsman in ODIs. The previous fastest was made by Mohammad Azharuddin who took 62 deliveries to reach three-figure mark in 1988 also against New Zealand.

The following table lists the fastest 100s by Indians in ODIs:
