#83TheFilm based on then underdogs, #India #Cricket team, led by @therealkapildev is every bit evocative and inspiring. My only grouse is I was not born to witness #history of one of India's greatest sporting moment live. It was a turnaround moment in India's Cricket history, a sport that has given joy to so many of us. All characters have played their part well! The hardwork shows. Also, BCCI gave Rs 25,000 to each winning member of the 1983 squad, according to a scene in the movie. 20 years later in 2003, each member of the Saurav Ganguly-led side were given Rs 1 crore for their performance. A handsome hike of 35% every year for 20 years. Thats what 1983 team did to Indian Cricket in economic terms apart from help give BCCI and other Asian teams a centre chair on the table ruled by Anglo-Australians.
