Mohinder Amarnath, the vice-captain in 1983 World Cup displayed&nbsp;brilliant allround performance in the semi-final and final that earned him the &quot;Man of the Match&quot; in both crucial encounters.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"line-height: 20.7999992370605px;\">His slow and late swing balls exploited the weather and pitch conditions to its best and he made his bowling almost unplayble for teams. His bowling was unpredictable and sometime it used to come with sheer pace after hitting the pitch.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color:#B22222;\"><span style=\"font-family:georgia,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">&quot;Mohinder has the laziest, relaxed way of bowling, as if he&#39;s jogging.&nbsp;But these are deceptive moves as he trips them by making the ball wobble and induce all kinds of indecisiveness in batting - Kapil Dev<span style=\"line-height: 20.7999992370605px;\">&nbsp;wrote, years later.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color:#008080;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Semi-Final Against England - 46 Runs, 2\/27 from 12 Overs<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">In the semi-finals against England, first he took important wickets of David Gower&nbsp;and&nbsp;Mike Gatting and then scored vital 46 runs to give India a solid foundation in chasing the target of 214. He conceeded just&nbsp;27 runs in his 12 overs.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong style=\"color: rgb(0, 128, 128); line-height: 20.7999992370605px; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Final Against West Indies - 26 Runs, 3\/12&nbsp;from 7&nbsp;Overs<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">In the finals, against the world&#39;s best bowling attack comprising&nbsp;Malcolm Marshall,&nbsp;Michael Holding,&nbsp;Andy Roberts&nbsp;and&nbsp;Joel Garner. Team India was&nbsp;dismissed for a paltry score of 183 in 54.4 overs.&nbsp;Amarnath shows his temperament and scored 26 runs in low scoring match. He was the third highest scorer after Srikkanth (38)&nbsp;and Sandeep Patil (27). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">He was introduced when&nbsp;Dujon and Marshall were at the crease and slowly building the partnership. They added 40 runs before Dujon was played on off the bowling of Amarnath. He soon picked up 2 more wickets including the last batsman.&nbsp;Amarnath picked up 3 wickets and was the most economical bowler. His figures of 3\/12 from 7 overs was the highlight of the Indian bowling.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Overall Amarnath scored 237 runs and picked up 8 wickets in the tournament.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><strong>Sahir<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
