<p>Tears of joy at being able to relive the greatest moment of my career to see Kapil Dev receive and then lift the World Cup over his head. I don&rsquo;t know how I stopped myself from standing up and applauding in the cinema hall.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The film 83 has that kind of an effect even on grown (not much) men and cricket lovers like me. It made all of us see ourselves as others would have seen us in 1983. We missed Yashpal Sharma very much.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Yash was such an integral part of that win with match-turning innings in our opening game of the campaign and then in the semi-finals. His energy levels were electric throughout the month and he also saved dozens of runs in the field and who can forget the run out of Allan Lamb &nbsp;in the semis against England?</p>
<h2>Wonderful job by Kabir</h2>
<p>Kabir Khan and his team have done a wonderful job in recreating those moments and the hard work that the actors have put in can be seen by the fact that every player felt that the actor who played him in 83 had been incredibly accurate as far as mannerisms, style and even looks was concerned.</p>
<p>It was a squad of 14 players and one manager and we conquered the cricketing world. There were no field restrictions then, no limitations on the number of bouncers too and the red ball in English conditions which hardly stopped moving even after the shine was gone.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Flushed with all-rounders</h2>
<p>That team were full of all-rounders and that is the key especially in limited overs cricket. Even the 2007 and 2011 teams had batsmen who could bowl and bowlers who were no bunnies with the bat. If India can find two all-rounders then we will have a better chance in the T20 World Cup in Australia in 2022 and in the 50 overs Cup at home in India in 2023.</p>

The film made all of us see ourselves as others would have seen us in 1983. Yash was an integral part of that win with match-turning innings of 89 in Game 1 and in the semis
