WATCH : Kapil Dev bowls a bouncer to MS Dhoni
In 1983, Kapil Dev shocked the world when he inspired the Indian team to a historic World Cup triumph. The underdogs India had beaten the two time defending champions, West Indies in the final.
The West Indian outfit had some of the greatest players to have played the game, and were overwhelming favourites heading into the match. But as fate would have it, India triumphed over them and Kapil Dev and his men engraved their name in history.

Twenty eight years later, MS Dhoni inspired his side to yet another World Cup triumph this time in Mumbai. A visibly emotional Kapil Dev broke down on national television, as the weight of being the only Indian captain to lift the World Cup was finally taken off his shoulders.
So it was a historic moment when both Kapil and Mahi were present to take part in a television shoot at the historic Eden Gardens. While shooting the ad, Kapil bowled a couple of deliveries to Dhoni, who was shocked by the pace that fast bowler could still generate.
Dev even bowled a bouncer that shocked Dhoni!
