Since I am from that period, I can tell you that the level of fandom was much lower. It really got kickstarted in the SRT era and accelerated from Dhoni onwards

 

Probably due to advent of internet and social media.

Not just that... people from my generation had other sports to follow as well (hockey was not yet completely declined - won 1975 WC for instance), and moreover, there was greater erudition about cricket among the fans (even though the fans were fewer in number compared to now). people were, in a sense, less invested in cricket - it really took off from 1983 onward
