#1 (1983 World Cup) Kapil Dev and Co. redefined India's cricketing power
The 1983 World Cup triumph was the moment that arguably planted a seed in Indian fans to become a popular sport for India in the following years. It was the greatest victory in terms of the country announcing its stature in the cricketing world.

India's first tough challenge came against Zimbabwe in a must-win game, where India was five down for fifteen runs, then came Kapil Dev as he played the match of his life with an unbeaten 175 helping India win the match.
India then stunned the host nation in front of their fans in the semifinals and outclassed favourites and two-time champions West Indies in the final to clinch their first World Cup.
It was a remarkable achievement, and it has to be at the top of the list.
