The subsequent 25-yard sprint that saw Kapil Dev take an outstanding catch to dismiss the rampaging Richards - and turn the game on its head - is how the movie, 83, starts. Thirty-eight years later, looking back at that moment, it might be fair to say that the entire prosperity of the Indian cricket diaspora and the hundreds, if not thousands, who have made their fortunes riding this crest of unexpected triumph owe a lot to Sir Isaac Vivian Richards’s decision to go for his eighth boundary on that eventful afternoon at Lord’s back in 1983.
