Kapil Dev: I told Madi pa, after so many boundaries, you take rest. But he was like no I want to do, I've taken ... Wicket. So madan asked for one over, I didn't want to. But he took and that's how he played. That was a turning point of that match. Handling these characters( cricket team) was very difficult. Told Kabir Khan it's impossible to find such characters

Roger Binny: Srikanth was my roommate in the tour, imagine how it would have been. He would always release is from the pressure. Had he not been a cricketer, he would definitely be an actor or comedian

Kirti Azad: our team decided that all the 5 star hotels we'll go to, we'll only converse in Hindi. Our off the field captain Sandeep would decide where to go for an outing in the evening. He would escape from it and we would get caught. It's been 34 years, I don't know how my ball went low and turn at the same time. Congratulated and welcomed Ranveer Singh as the reel captain

Madan Lal: We are Punjabis, we think in Punjabi and then speak in English. After winning the world cup, I had my English paper, then my professor helped me in copying and that's how I passed that paper

Mohinder Amarnath: When I went to the dressing room, nobody asked me for water, tea. I said I'm playing according to the plan that we'll not let the wicket go, it's okay if we don't make runs. After break, I hit a four. Yash is a Punjabi, so how could he stay quiet. He too struck a 4. I kept asking him to stay calm. He hit a 6. I told him play but don't take the risk. He said, 'Sir you don't know' and he abused me in Madrasi

Kapil Dev: No one can say that I haven't made any mistake. I have made many, it's just that I was from an agriculture background, and these guys are from cultured background. And cricket is played by cultured people. That is why it would come into me. I still say thank you and sorry. When we started cricket, it would happen in English. I said 'call a guy from Oxford to speak in English and I will play cricket'. We had a great time. There are many stories, which we don't want to reveal. I don't know how these guys are saying it. Well, it's been 25 years of marriage, nobody' s wife would leave them. 1983 2 will be a censored version

Kris Srikkanth: I got married to Vidya on March 30, 1983 and Sunny (Gavaskar) called me and told me to book a ticket for her from Bombay to US with a stopover in London. Sandeep (Patil) and Roger Binny booked the same tickets. So we were actually going for a holiday to US and on the way we played the 1983 World Cup. In the previous World Cup matches, we defeated only East Africa (in 1975), which were a bunch of Gujjus
