I am talking India’s famous World Cup victory in 1983. Indian team, who were underdogs at the time, took on the mighty West Indies, led by the legendary Vivian Richards, and won the historic match in the most nail biting way. It was Kapil Dev who was the captain of the team and his running catch to dismiss Vivian Richards was a moment no cricket fan can ever forget.
Arjun Kapoor who was last seen in the movie Tevar is likely to be seen as a cricketer in his next film. With the World Cup craze getting high, latest buzz is that Arjun Kapoor is likely to be seen playing the role of legendary cricketer Kapil Dev.
