When We Were Kings
The '83 World Cup win sits atop Indian sporting lore. We still savour its aftermath.
- Cricket decisively became the premier sport in India
- Indian money poured into cricket. One-Day Internationals became popular, attracting huge sponsorship.
- The subcontinent, over the years, became the centre of world cricket
- There was a TV boom, which over the years has taken player salaries and endorsement monies to stratospheric heights
- The World Cup was hosted in the subcontinent in 1987, and again in 1996
