Madan Lal, a member of the 1983 World Cup winning team that won three crucial wickets in the final, on Saturday praised director Kabir Khan’s film ’83’. Looking back on that day, he said that Kapil Dev’s game has been well represented in this movie, where he played a brilliant 175-run undefeated inning.
Speaking about Punjabi actor and singer Hardy Sandhu, who played his role in the movie ’83’, Madan Lal said that he has played a wonderful character in the movie. Madan Lal said: “The movie is fantastic. Kabir Khan has done a wonderful job. To truly see this game through a movie after 38 years, it was like reliving that moment.”
He further said: “Kapil Dev’s undefeated innings of 175 races has also been shown exactly the same as what happened there in 1983. Because when I saw ‘Haryana Toofan’ in action at Tunbridge Wells, I wasn’t a striker in the fold there … I was there. at the border “.
Playing against Zimbabwe, the great Indian off-road player Kapil Dev came to bat, when India was at 17 runs for the loss of five wickets. Kapil scored 175 runs on just 138 balls with the help of six sixes and 16 fours. India was at 266 for the loss of eight wickets with its highest score in ODIs.
Madan Lal, the SUV’s cricket coach and media analyst, said: “This entry was not recorded, but I can assure you that what is depicted in the movie is absolutely true.” Madan Lal became the player to take three wickets against the West Indies in the 1983 World Cup final. He had a stellar performance in 1983 when he took 17 wickets in eight games.
But he did his best for the final, where he took the lands of Desmond Haynes, Vivian Richards and Larry Gomes. Richards’ removal here turned out to be a turning point on India’s path to victory.
