You were well portrayed by Ranveer Singh: NZ cricket legend Richard Hadlee to Kapil Dev after watching 83.

Ranveer Singh’s cricket drama 83, directed by Kabir Khan, recently released on streaming platforms and seems to have breathed fresh life into the film. The film has been well received and the most recent proof came from former New Zealand cricket legend Richard Hadlee. Upon watching the film, Hadlee penned a heartfelt note to Kapil Dev who shared it on social media.

A part of Hadlee’s note read, “I really enjoyed the movie and reliving the 1983 World Cup. It was a very inspirational movie and story that warmed my heart. It gave me a greater insight into you as a person and how you motivated your team through your words and deeds on the field.”

Hadlee further added, “It was great to see you and Jimmy play an active part in the movie. You were well portrayed by Ranveer Singh. Seeing the games acted out with some real film footage and still camera shots embellished the movie and brought life to the story.”

Sharing the note, Kapil thanked Hadlee for his kind words. “Thank you Richard for your kind words. So glad you enjoyed the film. This message from you has truly been special. @kabirkhankk @ranveersingh.”

Rishabh Pant on Sunday broke Kapil Dev’s record of fastest Test fifty for India.

India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant scored the fastest Test fifty by an Indian batter on Sunday when he completed his half-century in 28 deliveries on the second day of the 2nd Test against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru. With India having bowled Sri Lanka out for 109 early in the day’s play, the hosts extended their 143-run first innings lead with some quick scoring in their second innings. It was Rishabh Pant, batting at No. 5, who took charge of the innings and attacked the visiting bowlers to help consolidate India’s control.

With his brisk fifty, Pant broke Kapil Dev’s almost 40-year record of the fastest Test fifty by an Indian batter.

Kapil Dev had scored a 30-ball half-century while batting against Pakistan in the Karachi Test in December, 1982. Despite his heroics, Pakistan went on to win the match by an innings and 86 runs.

Earlier on Sunday, Jasprit Bumrah took a fifer, his first in a home Test, as India ran through Sri Lanka’s lower order and bowled them out for 109.

Sri Lanka had resumed batting at 86/6 on Day 2 but could add only 23 runs to their total.

India started their innings well, with Rohit Sharma scoring 46 and Hanuma Vihari chipping with a knock of 35.
