[[Imran Khan]] regarded Mohinder so highly that in his book "All Round View" he went on record to say that in the 1982–83 season, Mohinder was quite simply the best batsman in the world. Imran further went on to state that Mohinder should have played non-stop for India right from his debut in 1969 to the time he retired. (After his debut series in 1969, he had to wait until 1975 to make it into the team). | [[Imran Khan]] regarded Mohinder so highly that in his book "All Round View" he went on record to say that in the 1982–83 season, Mohinder was quite simply the best batsman in the world.

In the semi- | In the semi-final against England his accurate seam bowling fetched him the top-order wickets of [[David Gower]] and [[Mike Gatting]]. He gave away only 27 runs in his 12 overs, for an average of a miserly 2.25 an over, the lowest among all Indian bowlers. Returning to bat, he scored 46 runs to give India a solid foundation. He was named the Man of the Match. | ||
In the | In the final, India batted first against the West Indies which arguably boasted the world's best bowling attack comprising [[Malcolm Marshall]], [[Michael Holding]], [[Andy Roberts (cricketer)|Andy Roberts]] and [[Joel Garner]]. India did not fare well, with the entire team being dismissed for a paltry score of 183 in 54.4 overs, well short of the allotted 60 overs. Amarnath's calm and composed batting against West Indian fast bowling gave the Indian innings some much needed stability. He occupied the crease for the longest period (80 balls) and scored 26 runs. Though normally in limited over matches a long stint at the crease is not necessarily a good thing, given that India did not last the entire 60 overs Amarnath's innings gave the batsmen at the other end the opportunity to score. Krishnamachari [[Srikkanth]] top-scored with 38 runs, followed by [[Sandeep Patil]] (27 runs). After the poor batting performance India's chances were deemed almost non-existent. However, the Indian bowling exploited the weather and pitch conditions, conducive for swing bowling perfectly to bowl out the West Indies for just 140, thus winning the finals by 43 runs. Amarnath and [[Madan Lal]] were the joint highest wicket takers with 3 wickets each. As he had been in the semi-final, Amarnath was once again the most economical bowler, conceding only 12 runs in his 7 overs for an average of 1.71 per over. Again, just like the semi-final, Amarnath was declared the Man of the Match.<ref>{{cite web |title=Prudential World Cup at Lord's, Jun 25 1983 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8039/scorecard/65090/india-vs-west-indies-final-prudential-world-cup-1983 |website=ESPN CrickInfo |access-date=26 February 2020}}</ref> Amarnath also had the distinction of bagging the match winning wicket. As the vice-captain of the team, he held the World Cup aloft in a famous photograph along with his captain and friend, Indian cricketing legend [[Kapil Dev]]. | ||
