On December 18, 2021, as a part of his upcoming movie, 83's promotions, Ranveer Singh took to his Instagram handle to share a video of his father-in-law, Prakash Padukone. In the video, we can see the ace-badminton player recalling his memories of the 1983 Cricket World Cup Finals when India had defeated West Indies for the first time in the history.
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.”
