I am watching cricket from 1987 reliance world cup and when ever we travel Australia umpires used to give wrong decisions like not out s for their key players nd outs for our key players even Darel Harper given Sachin helmet before wi jet Steve buvknor declared infamous catches .etc .Gavaskar himself called Australia played with 13 players .Kumble called only one team played with games true spirit. Even this time catch of Kohli at Perth was controversial .this way Australia used win these many years .1983 world cup win is in matchelle it's greatest win ever in Indian cricket. Australia now is weak team Like west indies .
Is Mr.Shastri is joking? Limited over world cup started from 1975 and India is first team dethroned mighty WI in 1983.Mind it all matches were 60 overs each. Not a single Indian cricket lover expected India to win the cup. The great Kapil Dev who lifted India to be a tough opponent for any team. To prove world it was not a fluke India won world championship cup in Australia 1985.Mr.Shastri was opener for India in this tournament. But do not forget all Indian players played test matches too and won abroad series in England 2-0 in 1986.Congratulation for first series win in Australia, but please do not undermine those laurels.
No doubt the series win is a big win our team has done fantastic job, bit cannot be compared to 1983 win as 1983 cup was won against the top and toughest team whereas in this case current australian team is not the top and toughest.

True... 1983 win was against the best team top class baller n batsmen with very low score....
Shashtri is a self proclaiming person and it is quite anticipatory that the success achieved out of his present contribution he will compare with the highest achievements ever by Indan team ! But by saying so, he has only demean the team work and their efforts in winning 1983 world cup!
