What is 83 About?
In the summer of 1983, when the Indian cricket team reached England with Kapil Dev, a young and highly motivated man, as their skipper, no one from the cricket experts to the media paid much attention to them. All the cameras flocked the mighty West Indies, who had won the first two world cups, and it seemed that they were all set to repeat the extraordinary feat for the third time. Nobody gave India much chance, and they appeared to be right when the Windies thrashed the team by 34 runs at Old Trafford.
The Kapil Dev-led side now faced Zimbabwe at Grace Road, and the media had already started speculating their early exit from the competition. However, despite the loss and upcoming tough matches, Kapil openly talked about winning the world cup, which almost seemed like a joke to the media and cricket experts. But what followed in the next few weeks changed world cricket forever.
