Former India cricketers, including the captain of the 1983 World Cup-winning team Kapil Dev, Syed Kirmani and Kirti Azad, became emotional remembering their late teammate Yashpal Sharma during the screening of `83`, the Kabir Khan film based on the countrys first - and perhaps biggest - cricketing triumph.
During the screening here on Friday, attended by several of `Kapil`s Devils`, there were misty eyes all across the theatre when Yashpal (played by Jatin Sarna in the movie) came on to blaze a 120-ball 89 that helped India defeat West Indies in the 1983 World Cup`s opening game at Manchester.
