Today/Yesterday, on Kapil Dev’s birthday, let’s remember one incident from the 1983 World Cup that didn’t just change a match — it changed Indian cricket forever. 🔴🔵🟤🟢🟠🟣🟡⚪⚫ In the league stage against Zimbabwe, India was in deep trouble. Scorecard read 17/5. The World Cup dream was slipping away. Many had already written India off. That’s when Kapil Dev, the captain, walked in. What followed was not just batting — it was leadership under fire. Kapil Dev played an unforgettable knock of 175 not out (then the highest ODI score in the world). There was no live television coverage that day, but history was being written ball by ball. He smashed the bowlers, ran tirelessly between the wickets, and refused to accept defeat. India recovered to 266, defended the total, and stayed alive in the tournament. That innings taught India a powerful lesson: When everything collapses, a leader doesn’t complain — he rises. That one belief carried the team forward — past the West Indies in the final — and on 25 June 1983, India lifted its first World Cup, against all odds. Kapil Dev’s legacy is not just trophies or records. It’s the mindset he gave India: “We may not be favourites, but we will never be afraid.” A birthday reminder that greatness is born in moments of pressure, and history belongs to those who dare to stand tall when everyone else bends. 🔴🔵🟤🟢🟠🟣🟡⚪⚫ #💪മോട്ടി വേഷൻ #inspiring #Kapildev❤️💚❤️ #india
