Ind vs WI 1983-84 Series: Statistics and Records

The revenge series saw West Indies knocking heavily. A 3-0 loss in the 6-Test series was devastating for the newly crowned champions, that too at home. Although statistics reveal West Indies bowler won them the series, as most of the time during the series India kept losing 4-5 wickets before crossing 50-run mark. Surprisingly overall stats show Indian batsmen did score good number of runs, but lack of good partnerships did them in.
