Today the biggest match between India and Pakistan will be played in London. Both teams will face face-to-face in the final of the Champions Trophy. Today, this day is very important for India. Today, 34 years ago, India had won a historic victory in the 1983 World Cup. In this match, former captain Kapil Dev has played one of the biggest innings of ODI history. The 20th match of the

1983 World Cup was played between India and Zimbabwe. The Indian team first came in to bat, but India’s start was very bad. India’s first wicket fell on the score of 1, then the wickets fell and India lost 5 wickets for 17 runs. After this Kapil Dev got on the pitch and he changed the whole match. Kapil played an unbeaten innings of 175 runs in 138 balls. Kapil put 16 fours and six sixes in this innings.

Kapil did the biggest score of ODIs made
in this match, Kapil did not even make his team a big score. Rather he did his own record of making the biggest score in one-day history. Before Kapil, New Zealand’s Glenn Turner played an unbeaten innings of 171 in 1975. However, Kapil Dev’s record was not much longer, and in the following year, in 1984, West Indian batsman Vivian Richards scored his record of making the highest score by playing an unbeaten innings of 189 against England.

In this World Cup match, India scored 266 runs. After this, the Indian bowlers bowled well and Zimbabwe’s team all out for 235 and made the match their name. Kapil Dev was also a wicket in the match.
