IMAGE: Ranveer Singh plays Kapil Dev and from the photographs we have seen so far has got the great man's distinctive bowling and batting styles pitch perfect.

 

IMAGE: June 25, 1983 -- when Kapil Dev's team defeated Clive Lloyd's mighty West Indies side, twice winners of the World Cup -- changed Indian cricket forever. India last won the World Cup on April 2, 2011. Time to win another one, folks!
