Winning the 1983 World Cup is a fond memory for every Indian cricket lover and one of the highlights of that tournament was Kapil Dev's knock against Zimbabwe. It was on this day (June 18) that the then Indian captain played a stupendous knock which would go down as one of the best Indian cricket has ever witnessed. Having lost the top and middle-order for single-digit scores, Kapil Dev came to India's rescue with the side tottering at 17/5. The right-hander went on to score 175 runs off only 138 balls, a knock which included 16 fours and six sixes and he helped India post a competitive 266/8. Kapil later returned to take one wicket as well as India won the match by 31 runs. Mirabai Chanu Wears India's T20I Jersey to Show Support for Men in Blue in ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Pic Goes Viral.
