83 film and feat: World Cup winners and the actors playing them

The movie 83, releasing on December 24, celebrates the feat of the Indian team winning its maiden World Cup 38 years earlier.

Ranveer Singh plays Kapil Dev in the film and the trailer has raised expectation that he has got under the skin of the character, right down to mannerisms and style.

India beat the West Indies in 1983 to win the Cricket World Cup, giving a massive boost to the game in the country which already loved it.

The movie celebrating the feat of the Indian team, 83, releases on December 24. Here is a look at the cricketers who pulled off the win, and the actors playing them in the movie celebrating the feat 38 years later. There is a special shout-out for the manager, too.
