Led by Sunil Gavaskar, India romped home with six wickets in hand

Perhaps, India's greatest win in the longest format, perhaps their greatest win overseas, and for all and sundry, this was definitely a watershed moment in India's Test sojourn.

The mighty West Indies won the toss and decided to bat first on a flaccid surface in Trinidad and Tobago.

Vivian Richards led the charge with a dominating 177 as the hosts piled up 359 runs in the first innings.

India responded with 228 runs and fell behind in the game significantly.

However, the Indian spinners then spun a web as S Venkataraghavan and BS Chandrashekhar shared five wickets between them as the West Indies were restricted to 271 runs in the second innings.

And then came the historic effort from the Indian batting lineup. Led by Sunil Gavaskar and Gundappa Viswanath, the visitors scripted an amazing heist as they romped home with six wickets in hand chasing 406 to win.
