1987 world cup

India at the 1987 World Cup

India was the host of the 1987 Cricket World Cup and was expected to perform seeing as it was the reigning champions. It was grouped in Pool A with Australia, New Zealand and Zimbabwe. The matches had been reduced to 50 overs to accommodate for the number of daylight hours on the Indian subcontinent. India's start to the tournament was bright, as it topped the pool, getting 5 wins and only 1 loss, this loss being by only 1 run. It carried this out despite the fact that it lacked the likes of its past World Cup heroes: Mohinder Amarnath and Madan Lal, India's team was still captained by Kapil Dev and featured veterans like Sunil Gavaskar.

The Indian Squad of the 1987 World Cup comprised:
• Mohammed Azharuddin
• Roger Binny
• Kapil Dev (captain)
• Sunil Gavaskar
• Kiran More (wicketkeeper)
• Chandrakant Pandit
• Manoj Prabhakar
• Chetan Sharma
• Ravi Shastri
• Maninder Singh
• Navjot Singh Sidhu
• Laxman Sivaramakrishnan
• Kris Srikkanth
