New Delhi:
It all started with Kapil Dev’s unbeaten 175 runs against Zimbabwe at the 1983 World Cup. That magnificent knock turned the tables for India. And, as we know, the rest is history. Well, now, all thanks to Kabir Khan’s 83 we will be able to rekindle our fond memories of the iconic tournament. The movie, which hit the theatres on December 24, will see Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev. And, we just can’t wait to see Ranveer’s (IRL) wife, actress Deepika Padukone, play Romi Dev. While we are hunting for 83’s theatre slots, let us take a look at some other memorable sports dramas available on OTT platforms.
