It was 40 years ago on this day that India lifted its first-ever cricket World Cup trophy and director Kabir Khan along with the squad of his '83' movie on Sunday congratulated the real-life heroes of the momentous match.

Khan's '83' chronicles the underdog India's win under Kapil Dev's captainship, when the team defeated the mighty West Indies in the final to clinch the trophy on June 25, 1983.
