June 25, 1983, is one day that is written in golden letters in the history of the Indian cricket. On this day, Kapil Dev and men lifted the World Cup for the first time by beating West Indies by 43 runs. Held at the Lord's Cricket Stadium, the pictures and videos of the match still remain fresh in the archives of our memories. Suresh Raina and many other cricketers have remembered the golden day, but now even our IPL franchises like Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings have posted tweets about the same on their social media pages. 1983 Cricket World Cup: Suresh Raina, Mohammad Kaif and Other Indian Cricketer’s Remember Iconic Win on 37th Anniversary.
