Members of the 1983 World Cup-winning Indian team celebrated the 40th anniversary of their momentous achievement, 35,000 feet up in the air as the legends were seen in a plane in a video shared by Kirti Azad on social media.
The Indian cricketing heroes of the 1983 World Cup were traveling to be part of Adani Group’s ‘Jeetenge Hum’ campaign, which encourages Indian cricket fans to unite as one and rally behind Team India to celebrate past heroes as well as get behind Team India ahead of the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup.
The legendary team's captain, Kapil Dev, gave Gautam Adani a special bat that was autographed by the 1983 squad. This gift will be given as a motivating memento to the Indian contingent before the eagerly anticipated World Cup 2023.
The captain of the 1983 winning squad Kapil Dev said, “We are honored to unite with the Adani Group in rallying Team India for the ODI World Cup 2023. This campaign symbolizes the excitement and the indomitable spirit that propelled us to victory in 1983. In preparation for the World Cup 2023, the team must foster a collective mindset that centers on wholeheartedly committing to giving their absolute best. The true measure of success lies not solely in the outcome, but in the unwavering dedication to the relentless pursuit of personal excellence."
