Kapil was ahead of his time. Today 54 runs in 37 balls in T20 is considered to be match winning.

This Indian team and their spotless performance enroute their title victory is without doubt the best in the history of Indian cricket . The 1983 World Cup victory came out of the blue and the 2011 World Cup victory wasnt a show of domination. Whereas the 1985 World Championship witnessed India's absolute domination from start to finish.

I was 14 yrs then. Color TVs were exciting new things in India. I remember waking up in early morning hours to see white ball colored dress 'wow kinda' cricket. Those days are just unforgettable,

1:39....Kapil & Gavaskar captain..... That's shows the Real leader in Kapil Dev....The Greatest cricketer of India

उन दिनों 30 बाल पर अर्धशतक बनाना अद्भुत। उपलब्धि थी।कपिल देव ने उस दिन भारतीय क्रिकेट इतिहास की महान पारियों में से एक पारी खेली थी।

Kapil Dev should have been the man of the match.

Unforgettable match. I was just a 11 year old boy… Enjoyed watching the match with my Grandmother, mother, sister, Uncle & aunty on a Sunday. The Doordarshan said, after a certain time the match cannot be aired live, Kapil played a blasting innings & won us the match before that time. Can never forget that. Beautiful memories. Thanks for uploading this.

I am also 17 yrs. old. Passion for cricket that time was very high.

i saw this live on black and white tv while studying in highschool waking up at 3 am, what a series, best indian cricket 🏏 of 80s, thanks for uploading

Kapil Dev was in his prime between 1983-1987. Batting with his usual flair and appears to be batting on a different pitch. What a player, also kudos to team management to promote him in the batting order when the game was on line and Hadlee was bowling so well. Kapil went after him and close the win for India.

in india we cld just knock the neighbours door and watch a match or a movie on sat or sunday ,those memories were great but unfortunately our children can’t experience that ,love and oneness like a big family ..

Roger binny my most favorite player in Indian cricket team God bless you sir ✝💝👏👍

Still vividly remember this tense game....We wouldn't have won without the great innings by champion Kapil and great support from Dilip ❤ superb semi final

Roger Binny the most talented bowler of India cricket team, You’re unsung Hero of Indian cricket team,

It was an absolute treat to watch both kapil n vengsarkar in the semi final match they literally pulverized the kiwi attack. Those days we had some much balance in the team bcoz every one could bat down the order so much depth in the batting line up that is why we were able to win both the 1983 WC n 1985 BNH world championship..

This match was a day & light match at Sydney. Cutting my class at 6th standard & watched this match with hell a lot of tension. Kapil played a T20 innings & equally supported by Dhilip Vengi. Sastri & Azhar wasted 10 overs. But it was balanced by Kapil-Dhilip Duo. Sastri awarded Man of the Match not only for his fifty. But also for his bowling performance. But the fans MOM is none other than the Entertaining Hero, who is the brand ambassador for Palmolive, that cleanly shaved the Kiwis... Ever Green Memories of Eighties...

DD was supposed to shelve telecast of the match due to some preoccupied programs... And suddenly KD came, conquered and won the game before DD stops the telecast. And i remember the commentator in Hindi said " Shayad Kapil ko malum padhgaya ki telecast rukne wala hai... Unhone match pahlehi khatam kardi"... Great words

Kapil and vengsarker batting very well

Kapil dev player to remembered for longtime to come.

Roger Binny was brilliant iin overseas condition and not so effective in Asian tracks. Very Good Team Man.

what a masterstroke by Gavaskar sir, sending Kapil sir

Before this Mini world cup in 1985, the quality of cricket telecast on Doordarshan used to be very poor. And till then people were used to see cricketers in White dresses. Suddenly people were stuned to watch high quality telecast by Channel 9 & players in coloered dresses. In our city the television era has started just one year ago in 1984. So lot of people didn't own Television yet. I was in 11 3:03 th standard at that time. I still remember our hall used to be full with neighbourhood children watching live telecast. Great electric atmosphere.. And luckily India too performed very well & won all the matches & finally the Cup very convincingly ... Sweet memories of those moments still linger in the heart.

A great time I remember. Great match. Thrilling commentry listened Kapil smashing Hadlee.❤

that time is gret criket kapil is my favourite cricketer

Shastri...hit 6 sixer bowler name -Tilak...Raj Not techy Raj as told by commentator. Great Memory of 39 yrs

यह दौर 1983 से 1985 का सुनहरे दिन थे भारतीय क्रिकेट के लिए. हम उस समय 13/14 साल के ही थे लेकीन क्रिकेट समझ रहे थे. आज भी वो दिन बहोत याद आते है. यही से भारत का डंका विश्व क्रिकेट मे बजने लगा

Roger Binny has smooth Flowing Action. Great Bowler. 😮😊

Shortly after this 1985 B&H World Championship Of Cricket match was played at the SCG, the Sheridan Stand at the SCG was demolished to make way for the new Clive Churchill Stand, which opened a year later, in 1986.

I think kapil or Dileep should be player of the match.😊

😮mane Sare mach aapne t v par ghar mai dekhe hai veshav cup ke baad vesan hajej cup ASTAILIYA mai hua tha or india cup ko jeet kar aayi thi

i saw this live on TV and really tense match India won the match and won the final also

What a bowling kapil dev

One cannot help but notice at least 2 times the slight sarcasm of commentators towards India and once lack of knowledge. 1. At 34:00 onwards the discussion about the bowler who Ravi Shastri hit for six 6s culminates with commentators saying the guy's name was Tecky Raj. His name was Tilak Raj actually. 2. At 37:00 Richie Benaud says "Hadlee at the start didn't give these 'fellows' any room at all". 3. At the end Tony Greig during the presentation tries to be cheeky with Shastri and asks "will you get spare parts of Audi in India?", to which Shastri gives one back by saying "in India you can get anything if you are ready to pay the price". 👍🏼 These looters of our land even till the mid 80s were full of pride. We have come a long way since. The contribution of these cricketers too can't be written off completely.

kapil pa g konel venserker yaadgar bating ravi sir bhi zbardast

34:43 - cometh the hour, cometh the man, the greatest bowler ever arise sir richard

1985मे 20 साल का था और इसी साल मेरी बैंक मे नौकरी लगी थी,, यादगार वर्ष

I Remember this tournament and also go back to my childhood. Then Black and white T.V on our home, my friends and family and neighbours enjoy that tournament.

Why was Shastri the MOM and not Kapil Dev ? Shastri just got his 50 at his own pace and got out...

the commentary is enjoyable!....and hilarious)))....nobody really seemed to know the bowler who got hit for 6 sixes by shastri...till the statistician fumbles and informs them that his name is tacky raj))))...lol...and then one of the commentators says" tacky answer from you,eh!"...lol..poor tilak raj!

Mis u Marti Crow sir

That innings we are listening AIR commentory.Fullvof action. Great match.

Turning moment of the match as usual............ "Shastri's departure"...

Post match interview.. Tony Greig says as if westinfies are already in the finals..(says a lot about westindies' dominance of cricket during 70s and 80s...) . It wasn't to be.. Pakistan made it to the finals but India once again had the better of them.

I remember this match,I was in 10th at that time

I was 9 years old then.

I was 15 years when this matched happened good olden days❤

Excellent Performance & Win

The kind of game which hastened the use of slow motion replays for runouts..

Gavaskar captained in mosr astute manner.

Ravi shastri made tipical situation for india in that match by playing very slow

Madanlal is my favourite cricketer.

Best

Kapil Dev On bad.👍 Century.👍

India team is the only team which always looks behind its achivement. Look australia they never talk too much about the past wins.

My fav match

Why that comments on screen

Hii

😊

#SaveSoil

Great Kapil took Hedlee head-on and smashed him to all parts of the ground to win the Match for India. Kapil Dev & Vengsarkar real heroes of this match not Ravi Shastri.

azruuuuuu❤️

You talk rubbish , first and foremost understand in 1987 and 1999 when u faced disturbances in cricket grounds Modi name was unknown and ure favourite Congress ruled , u guys kept on killing our soldiers and civilians and in the past govt did not respond to u hard and instead organised Aman ki asha hence out of desperation then public attacked ure.players ,today scenario has changed we are making u bleed at every parameter be it political instability, economic disaster or at international diplomacy and yes cricket is now becoming ure bone in the throat ...u guys talked big about not coming so now don't come and get isolated further.

all Old School teams except australia and pakistan played the Sport in the True Spirit, today JOKERS PLAY this Sport...

To think sunny avtually preferred pak in the finals is unthinkable today. Pakistan is such an awesome side now. Also shows how scary the windies were

The ' 83 TEAM and This Indian TEAM was a DEATH SQUAD , I would say the same for when Ganguly was the Captain, !!!! NO MORE Cricket left now a days, its a FILTHY JOKE...

What a class of kapil dev
