Just a few hours back, Ranveer Singh released the trailer of his much-awaited film, 83. The actor steps into the shoes of Kapil Dev and leads a 'team no one believes in' to victory. The trailer shares a glimpse of how the Indian Men's cricket team went from being the underdogs to winning their first-ever World Cup in 1983 by beating the reigning champions.
