Released on the 24th of December
2021, the Ranveer Singh starrer ‘83’ is a treat for all cricket lovers, and
particularly, Kapil Dev fans. Revolving around the iconic World Cup win of
1983, the film is a journey into the experience of cricket veteran Kapil Dev,
and the rest of the Indian cricket team. The film ends with a brief interview
of the cricket icon who reveals details about the legendary win of 1983.
In
the interview, Kapil shared that the Indian cricket team slept on an empty
stomach after their triumph in the finals with West Indies. This had happened
because the team players were busy partying the night away, and once the hunger
pangs finally hit in the late hours of the night, they realised that all
eateries in the area had shut down. Therefore, the team decided to sleep away
their hunger after the celebratory win.
