In the video, Prakash Padukone shared that he was playing in a tournament in Denmark. Therefore, he was devoid of watching the match live. However, he had kept a tab on the score via the radio and the BBC news. Sharing the video, Ranveer captioned it as:

“25th June, 1983, was a landmark day in the history of Indian sports. India won the world cup for the first time, most unexpectedly! We were in Denmark at that time. I was playing professional badminton. I couldn't see the match live. Trying to get the news either from the radio or BBC. When we heard that India had won the world cup, I think it was unbelievable. India had beaten the mighty West Indies in those days. That was a turning point for Indian cricket. From what was a sport, became a religion.”
