The years 1983, 2003, and 2011 are not just the years of history marked in the lives of every cricket admirer but also years of India’s cricket glory that perhaps resonates with every Indian today and forever. These are the years when India reached the finals of the cricket World Cup. Out of the three, India has won two of the finals, making them a really successful cricket team.
The 1983 World Cup was probably watched on CRT television screens in black and white. The World Cup is more likely to have been heard through radio than been watched through television. Ask the people who are in their 50s and 60s right now and they will tell you the energy that entire India had when they were playing the mighty West Indies in the finals. Undoubtedly the favorites after winning the first two additions of the cricket World Cup.
The 2003 World Cup is still special because the relatively young Indian team had made it all the way to the finals beating every other team except Australia. Although there have been critics who frowned upon the decision of Saurav Ganguly to let Australia bat first after winning the toss, the fact that India fought steadily until the finals, and the heroics of the exclusive Indian opening batsman Sehwag will never ever be forgotten. This World Cup was considered to be the coming of age for an energetic, aggressive, and resilient Indian cricket team.
Team India had to wait for 28 years since its last World Cup finals appearance to win its next World Cup. People who were in their childhood and teens during the 1996 semi-finals disaster and the 2003 finals disappointment were eagerly waiting for this day. Indians, with their desire to see the team captain lift the World Cup, got instilled in them, for a lifetime. The 2011 World Cup saw every Indian’s dream come true. During the early summers of 2011 when MS Dhoni, the Indian captain, hit the winning Sixer into the crowd, it made a historic statement.
People can close their eyes and they cannot only see Dhoni lofting the ball but also hear the iconic commentary by Ravi Shastri.
It would not be surprising to see people look at the matches of the victorious world cups of India, streaming it time and again on YouTube. Is this the best way they can connect with the World Cup match and the players? Surely not!
In an endeavour to make the World Cup finals and victories of team India more appealing, attractive, and in line with the technology of today, Jump.trade has introduced the exclusive NFT collection containing cricket bats signed by the victorious Indian team of 1983 and 2011, and a double bat NFT signed by both team India and team Australia of 2003.
