"175" is lucky for Ind in ODI WCs

[zen]

Both the times, India lifted the WC, one of the batsmen hit 175 -> Kapil in 1983 (Zim) and Sehwag in 2011 (BD). If someone hits 175 in this WC, it could serve as  a favorable sign for India  

 

The contenders: 

• Rohit vs. AFG, BD, and SL 
• Dhawan 
• Kohli 
• KL
• Pandya, if promoted can have an absolute damaging effect

If anyone is to score that 175, can't see anyone beside Rohit from the current lot to do it! Come on fat boy, prove us wrong and score that 175!

[zen]

vs. AFG at Southhampton is probably the best chance for someone to do it esp. if Ind bats first!

@maniac   Some encouraging comments for Rohit please!

India hasn't won a major trophy under NDA govt , hope that changes. Or libtards will use that as a tool to bash Modi/BJP.

Why only them ? 

 

He has a 200 and a 170 against Australia,  150 against South Africa as well.

Wht if someone scores 176 or 174. Will it be acceptable @zen I'm assuming @Laaloo wont go to the bathroom when Sachu was batting. I remember Gavaskar was saying during the 2015 finals that India scored 183 in the 1983 wc and defended it. Since NZ scored 183, he was making the case of NZ doing the same thing. It turned out Aus chased it in under 30 overs Let go of the superstitions and just enjoy the wc.

Bullshit.

[nevada]

Rozilla can score not just 175 but 275 against SL. But by then, the world cup might be over for us. With the first 3 games against SA, Aus and NZ - it could go 0-3 and effectively shut the doors right there.

a) 175

 

b) we do not know if 183 is lucky or a favourable sign for either Ind or NZ

 

c) this is a fun topic

That 175 is the best batting  innings I have ever watched. The pressure of 17/5, the world cup scenario, the strike rate at which Kapil scored those runs in that era is simply unmatchable.

 

Having watched Viv as well, only Kapil

capable of scoring runs as or more quickly than Viv in those years.

I watched that on Television. We took a rally after the world cup was won by India. It was breathtaking experience.

You said you watched 175 game. That game was not televised I think

Matches in those days were not televised if they were played abroad. Full live telecast started only in 1985 iirc for foreign tours.

 

The 1983 wc final was shown on TV. Doordarshan showed feeds only after India made finals.

I guess, he asked the question because you said: "That 175 is the best batting  innings I have ever watched." .... Since there is no recording available for that inning as it was not covered, the only way to have watched it was by being at the stadium

You put it the right way. I forgot to mention the exact line

Now I understand what he meant.  Should have framed it properly.

it is quoted in cricinfo that one spectator recorded that inns and Kapil bought that from him at a very high price.Only Kapil knows the truth.
