The legendary Mohinder Amarnath, who was the Man of the Match in the semi-final vs England (46 & 2-27) and the final vs the West Indies (26 & 3-12) in the 1983 World Cup was a guest on Times of India's sports podcast Sportscast earlier this year, after the movie 83 had released and recalled many wonderful anecdotes about that magical journey that changed the face of Indian cricket forever and gave multiple generations that followed the belief that took India to the pinnacle of world cricket.

We were all pumped up," Balwinder told TimesofIndia.com in an exclusive interview on the 39th anniversary of India's unforgettable 1983 ODI World Cup win.
