Kapil Dev lifting that world cup trophy in Lords inspired millions to pick up cricket in Asia. Before that cricket was not so popular and Asian teams were just there to fit the bill. Also, I just looked at the map to confirm since I was unsure and found out that Lords is not in India. Its in Central London with St. Johns Wood is the closest metro station served by Jubilee line.
BTW, India is the 1st team to win a WC at home in 2011. Aussies got inspired and repeated the same in 2015.
Bottom line, let it be 1983 or 2011 we have inspired few teams round the world.
