March 10, 1985 seems to be long ago. Thirty-nine years ago, to be precise. That was the day when India won the Benson Hedges World Championship of Cricket title. India beat Pakistan by eight wickets in the Melbourne final after Sunil Gavaskar’s men chased the 177-run target thanks to 103-run stand between openers Ravi Shastri (63 not out) and Kris Srikkanth (67). Shastri was named Player of the Series and was awarded an Audi car for his all-round show (182 and eight wickets in five matches).
