In the history of Cricket World Cup, team India is one of the successful teams. India had marked its place in the books in 1983, led by the young captain Kapil Dev, after defeating the defending champions West Indies in the finals.
Bishan Bedi, the left-arm orthodox from Punjab, also nicknamed as Bishu had very impressive bowling variations & often troubled batsmen. In the 1975 world cup, he had bowled two maiden overs in a single game against East Africa. No other bowler has achieved that feat in the World Cup till date.
