India had won its first World Cup in 1983 at this very ground and apparently, it brought better fortunes for the touring side on the following tour. The Indian team had the likes of seasoned players in the name of Dilip Vengsarkar, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Roger Binny and Mohinder Amarnath.

They all knew the conditions well but it was Chetan Sharma who laid the foundation of the victory. He took five wickets for 64 runs to restrict England at 294. Dilip Vengsarkar scored a brilliant century and India won by five wickets.

It was special for Chetan Sharma to get his name on the Honor Board as India registered its win at Lord's.
