Cricket World Cup: The Indian Challenge is a complete match by- match catalogue of India in the Cricket World Cup with scorecards. It details the little-known story of India’s turning point—a victory in March 1983 over the then invincible West Indies in Guyana, before Kapil Dev’s team sensationally lifted the World Cup three months later. It relives India’s forgotten triumph in the 1985 World Championship in Australia. It depicts how Sachin Tendulkar inspired Yuvraj Singh to perform at his best in India’s successful campaign in the 2011 World Cup. And why the Indians disappointed in 2015 and 2019, but have home advantage in 2023.

Ashis Ray

Ashis Ray is arguably the world's senior-most still active cricket broadcaster, having made his debut as a test match commentator on All India Radio in 1975 at the age of 24, which probably makes him the world's youngest test match commentator on record as well. Born in Vienna and educated in Darjeeling and Kolkata, he was the only Asian ball-by-ball commentator on BBC's coverage of the 1983 World Cup, in which India famously upset the then invincible West Indies to lift the trophy. He has also analysed or commentated on cricket on ABC Australia, Sky Sports UK, SONY Asia, CBC Caribbean and Doordarshan India. He has written on the game for every major British and Indian newspaper as well and lectured on it at the University of Oxford.
