Tears in Kapildev’s eyes. Yes. Such a star of Indian cricket whose bowling used to scare the mighty batsmen around the world. Tears in the eyes of that fear. It was an opportunity to remember the golden history when India had hoisted the tricolor on the ground of Lord’s, which is called the Mecca of cricket. Kapil Dev, the all-rounder of 1983 ICC World Cup champion Team India, cried when he remembered a special moment.
In fact, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Mohinder Amarnath, Krishnamachari Srikkanth reached a program on the occasion of the release of the 1983 World Cup film. Together were the characters of the film. Ranveer Singh and the rest of the cast of the film. When Amarnath was asked how he had taken the last wicket of Mike Holding, he immediately stood up from the chair. He told how he bowled the short off the length ball and the fielding was decorated with some thought. Holding bounces the ball and he is caught out. India had become the world champion. After taking the wicket, Amarnath ran towards the stumps. He tried to uproot the wicket. The wicket didn’t fall. By then the crowd had started running towards the pitch. Seeing this, he ran towards the pavilion without taking any wicket.

When Amarnath narrated this anecdote, tears welled up from Kapil Dev’s eyes. He said, man, there is a chance to remember Khushi. So what’s the problem with crying? These are tears of joy. And I want to be seen. On this occasion, Srikkanth said that he never used to bat every single piece. Madanlal also became emotional. He said that his friend Yashpal Sharma is not in his midst. Then he too started crying.
