500th Match Test Cricket: Tricky Wicket

Until the 1983 World Cup, India had been perpetual alsorans in the one-day game. Sunil Gavaskar’s notorious 36 in 60 overs in the 1975 World Cup was what people remembered of India’s limited-overs effort, rather than the—rather occasional—victories against other teams in one-day internationals. But the 1983 World Cup changed all that. As the editor of Wisden wrote in his notes, “They brought warmth and excitement in the place of dampness and depression.” India had not even reached the semi-finals before 1983, and now they won the title. This sparked a massive interest in the limited-overs format in India, and began what seems today like a terminal decline in interests in Test cricket on the subcontinent.
