The West Indies Cricket Team dominated world cricket from the late 1950s to the 1960s, but never held the top spot. However, after winning the 1975 World Cup, they suffered a 5-1 defeat in Australia, followed by a 2-1 win over India. This led to a series of victories, fueled by the addition of players like Joel Garner, Colin Croft, and Malcolm Marshall. The team went on to dominate world cricket from 1980 to 1995, a feat unmatched in any sport.
