WATCH: India World Cup hero Kapil Dev shows his smooth dance moves

The 1983 World Cup was one of the greatest moments which changed the course of Indian cricket, where a team filled with underdogs beat the odds and won the tournament after defeating 2 time world champions West Indies. This was the moment when Indian cricketers got recognized on the stage and the players involved in the World Cup became household names. The contributions of Roger Binny and Mohinder Amarnath were exceptional, especially against one of the best international teams in the world. There is no question that every moment in the tournament was memorable enough to stay in people’s memories for a long time.

The one person the people will never forget is the Haryana Hurricane himself known as Kapil Dev. The all rounder was the man who led this side to victory in the 1983 World Cup and taught his team how to believe. He was always there for his team through thick and thin in the tournament right from single handedly winning the game against Zimbabwe with his great knock of 175 to his tremendous catch to dismiss Viv Richards at a crucial moment in the final. Even after the World Cup he has had a tremendous international career with over 650 international wickets and 9000+ international runs making him one of the best all rounders not only in India, but in the world.

Kapil shows his moves

Kapil just turned 65 two days ago and was celebrating his birthday party with a lot of glee and joy. The all rounder who was known to make the batters dance around the crease was seen showing his own moves while dancing with his wife Romi Dev. Kapil was scene dancing to an old hindi song looking happy and joyful. It is safe to say that the former India skipper still has the same energy he had in his younger days where he was always moving around the field.

This is the reason why Kapil Dev will always go down as one of the most iconic cricketers in the world not only for his performances, but also his highly energetic personality that had once taken a team from underperforming underdogs to World champions in the 83 World Cup. We wish him the best as he turns 65 and is still looking healthy. Kapil Dev might be retired but his aura will keep shining throughout till the end of time and he will always be a legend to everyone in the nation and the world.
