Unlike ‘83, this team began the tournament as favorites and went on to give Sachin Tendulkar his first World Cup trophy at the age of 38. Watch Cyrus talk about everything related to the memorable home World Cup on this episode of A Century of Stories: Cricket podcast presented by IDFC FIRST Bank.

India’s ex-fielding coach, R. Sridhar, who saw the duo operate from close quarters, gives an insight into what made them such a formidable pair on this episode of A Century of Stories: Cricket podcast presented by IDFC FIRST Bank.
