The film chronicles India’s win under Kapil Dev’s captainship, when the team defeated West Indies in the final to clinch their first-ever World Cup trophy in 1983.

On Friday, Ranveer Singh had shared a 59-second-long clip on social media that recreated the iconic dismissal of West Indies legend Vivian Richards from the match.
