1983 World Cup - A Critic who won a million hearts & The Captain who made it Happen | Kapil Dev

3rd June 1983
Just before the start of the 3rd cricket world cup - named as the Prudential World cup.
The leading monthly cricket magazine at the time decided to put out an article predicting the outcome of the world cup.
This article written by the founder and editor of wcm itself- David frith, took particular aim at India - writing
If India’s pride is not important enough to spur them to wholehearted effort this time, they might as well give way to other would-be participants in 1987.”
India would eventually exit the tournament early & Unless India could adapt to one day format, they should perhaps withdraw their names from the next editions of the esteemed tournament.
Ending the article with - he would be happy to eat his words if India progressed beyond the league stage.
And so the die was cast - what happened next has become a folklore in cricket.
From a young captain who was to lead a young team to glory - Kapil dev
To that team’s manager - PR man singh
To the entire team that broough about the miracle of 1983
This is the story that happened in the background…..
When people said things and then were held accountable for it
Inspiring as well as funny,
This is the story of the worth of a man
A Story of when a man holds true to his words

Why can't I just hug the guy who came to inform this awesome history to people like me

[@aesthetehere7316]

David Frith : you gained our respect today man 🙌❤

[@UNisOUTDATED]

#Respect. That's what gamesmanship is all about. Well played. 👏👏👏

[@seasonaltheology8314]

Sportsmanship

[@FROSTSHORTS18]

Well david was right enough to say that Indian cricket in 1983 was like today's Afghanistan team If Afghanistans captain would say that he will win this world cup we will surely laugh at him But he being a gentleman at last ate his words after india's win

People talk about Tendulkar,Dhoni and Ganguly but Kapil Dev is actually true magic that time like a filmy story he and his teamates won the worldcup

[@ARS298]

Not only a sports lesson but a life lesson. We can achieve much in life if we only admit our mistakes when we are wrong and treat others with respect. Thank you for the lovely video.

[@acousticayush9601]

Post more videos bro. No one can match ur way of story telling. I am so addicted to this channel that every now and then i search for this channel if a new video has come. Thanks for getting this stories to all of us who weren't present at that time.

[@spysmile123]

Thank you for letting us know the bigger picture of an event which actually happened. Such videos are to be made for other topics as well. Beautifully explained.

Wonderful article and since David is truly man of his word and action then Kapil ji is a man of dreams and pride for billions around the world. May be had I accepted that offer to work with Kapil ji in 2006 I believe I could have fulfilled by dream of childhood to meet and work with him…well…who knows if future holds that promise again for me. Hoping for best🤞
