Gambhir takes inspiration from India's ICC CWC 1983 victory

India's Gautam Gambhir says he will be looking to India's ICC Cricket World Cup 1983 victory when it comes to inspiration and motivation ahead of this year's ICC Cricket World Cup which begins in just nine days time with the first match between India and Bangladesh in Mirpur.

"I definitely look to the 1983 World Cup win for inspiration as we want to get the World Cup back. We were pretty close to winning in 2003 and hopefully we can turn it around and win this time in India.

"There's a lot of pressure on us but hopefully if we can continue to perform as we have done over the last year-and-a-half in both Test and 50-over format, we can be in the right frame of mind to win the 50-over World Cup," says Gambhir.
