The game of cricket, originally from England, enjoys a feverish following in many parts of the world, especially in the Indian subcontinent, where it is nothing less than a ‘religion’. Perhaps the most awaited in the world of cricket is the ICC World Cup, held once in four years, with, as the name suggests, cricketing countries from across the world participating in it. This presentation takes you through the early history of international cricket and the origins of the World Cup, offering interesting information on its various avatars like the Prudential Cup, the Benson & Hedges Cup and so on. Special focus is then laid on the 1983 World Cup in which India, led by skipper Kapil Dev, emerged the victor in a most spectacular match that still evokes great memories amongst those that played and watched the final match at Lords. Know more on the game and the events of the match, both on-field and behind the scenes, through this highly informative ppt.
