Brought back memories of high school where we celebrated the victory on 24 Aug 1971 little knowing that soon there would be war and a new cricketing nation, Bangladesh will be born.
There was no telecast those days, only radio commentary, and I can still recall the joy when Abid Ali hit the boundary.Was a 11 year old kid then but seems like yesterday.We were all so tense around the radio.
Sir can you share your memories of listening to the news during the war in December 1971? How were the people feeling when Pakistan attacked our air fields? How was the enthusiasm among people after victory would like to listen from you
Glorious win. I remember that evening while coming back home with my father saw some cricket lovers forced a pan shop owner to switch the nob 0f his radio to shortwave mode(those days abroad sports matches broadcast through shortwave radio station) to listen running commentary of oval test match and we stopped walking, when Great Abid ALI hits the balls through cover region everyone shouted and the panwalla was shouting and crying. "Jeet gaya'. What a great moment ! thanks for this video.
I was 11 years old and we were glued to to the transistor. When each England wicket fell, we knew a wicket was gone when we can't hear the commentator due to crowd's huge noise. I vividly remember Chandra's bowling. What a performance! That was true cricket. You brought back my nostalgia sir.
One of the great memories from my childhood. Also, the series win in WI, then 406/4, and 83 WC. Ajit Wadekar was a great man who is not celebrated enough.
No fuss, no big bucks, played pure passion and patriotism - I listened to this victory on BBC radio and cheered each wicket. Mind blowing performance by Chandra!! What a day!! Real and true winners!!
Still now I like Bhagvat Chandrashekhar, Bishan Singh Bedi, Erapalli A.Prasanna, S.Venkatraghavan, Sunil Manohar Gavaskar, Ajit L.Wadekar, Gundappa R.Vishwanath, Eknath Sokar, Karsan घावरी and other cricketers of India team of 1970's and 1980's decades. Really what a nice India team.
I don't even though Indian team had series victories in the West Indies, England , New Zealand in the 70s how were they considered perenteders and outsiders in 1983 world cup. How biased the white cricketing nations were.
Test matches and ODI are differnt game though. India's performance in World Cup in 75 & 79 were poor. Also, the spin quartet that helped india win test series in England & West Indies had retired till 1983 world cup.
So you think that the West Indies would have had a different view from the "white cricketing nations"? There was very little to suggest that India were a major contender at the 1983 world cup-in fact, the biased white nations that you refer to would have regarded the West Indies as virtual certainties, which would seem to contradict your view that skin colour was a factor in assigning potential winners. Well done to India in overcoming those doubts but any cricket fan no matter what nationality would have regarded their triumph as a major shock.
In fact Kim Hughes, the Aussie skipper said even before the first match that he considered India to be the dark horses who could surprise everyone. Prophetic!!

These were real cricketers, fearless and committed.
Indeed! 👍
I still remember the best bowling by Chandrasekhar in 2nd inning and superb batting by Farooq Engineer in both the innings.
Happy days watching cricket wish my father. Always a pleasure to watch the Indians. Some great cricketers. I would love to go back to the 1970s
Amazing footage...what an historic occasion.
I have listened this victory match on BBC when I was studying in SSLC. B S. Chandra Shekhar was our neighbour in Jayanagaar 4th block.
Hats off to Eknath Solkar standing without wearing a helmet n taking great catch.
Solkar was great filder at short leg but no much credit given to him
historical win...Im 8yrs.old at that time...he is not faruque engnr.he is farukh engnr....he is parsi ...
Still now I like Bhagvat Chandrashekhar, Bishan Singh Bedi, Erapalli A.Prasanna, S.Venkatraghavan, Sunil Manohar Gavaskar, Ajit L.Wadekar, Gundappa R.Vishwanath, Eknath Sokar, Karsan घावरी and other cricketers of India team of 1970's and 1980's decades. Really what a nice India team.
Excellent post.
Keep going
Historic Indian win at the Oval, Credit to the Great Bhagwat Chandrasekhar and GR Vishwanath/ Engineer

BS CHANDRASEKHA magical bowling. Simple and superb. Hats off to the indian team.

Thanks for the amaging and wonderful footage.
Chandra had a very quick arm action
I was there for the last 2 days, an English boy supporting India
The crucial catch was that of Edrich by Engineer off Bedi - Engineer picked up the ball with his foot to complete the catch

India won at Lord's today after 50 years
Chandra being the bowler and Solkar fielding at short leg was a nightmare for England .
Brian Johnston was the 3 rd commentator.
What’s the structure by the side of the ground at 0.9 seconds
Chandra real match winner where he is Bcc ls helping him
Gajab
Colored video rec in 1971
Vishvnath is beat stroke player

@@Clisonics yes. Correct.
Looks India won the World Cup in 1971
Pakistan win their first test in England on their first tour first test record no one ever equal
The commentator sadi it wrong at the end. India won first test against England in 1952, this was the first series victory.
@@siddharthraychaudhuri7250 where you get this wrong information , 1985 India won their first test series in England.
@@sheraz_dsgroup India won first test series against England in England in 1971
@@yesno5480 correct. Won first test and series.
Bit of aggressive racism at the end there from the umpires
