'The spirit among the boys was incredible. I don't know what specific reasons enabled us to attain that kind of spirit but I believe it was the most vital character of that triumph,' Mohinder Amarnath said after India's incredible victory.

'The victory. How did it happen? How did India overturn all predictions? Why did so many wickets tumble so cheaply? India performed one of the most mystical acts in her long cricket history -- Kapil Dev's merry men swung, seamed and caught their way through the rich list of Caribbean batting talent to win the Prudential World Cup. Joyful Indian crowds swarmed in front of the pavilion. The handsome captain, Kapil Dev, accepted the Cup from the president of the MCC, Sir Anthony Tuke.' -- The Sunday Telegraph, Tony Lewis.

The match-winning moment Things were starting to look up for the West Indies. After a disastrous start, wicket-keeper Jeff Dujon put on 43 runs with Malcolm Marshall for the seventh wicket. Then came along Mohinder Amarnath to bowl his trundlers. A seemingly innocuous delivery deceived Dujon and India were roaring towards victory once again.

India denied the West Indies a third consecutive title. The odds against India winning the World Cup before the tournament were 1 to 66, a true reflection of their performances in the earlier World Cups.
