The Indian team that lifted the 1983 World Cup, the country's first major cricket title triumph at the global level, gathered at an event in Gurgaon for the launch of a book on the campaign on its 38th anniversary.

India were underdogs in the final against the Clive Lloyd-led the West Indies side, which was looking to win its third consecutive World Cup following wins in the 1975 and 1979 editions.

Kapil Dev's India had beaten the Windies in a league phase match before the men from the Caribbean bounced back to avenge the 34-run loss with a 66-run win.
