In the second half of the trailer, the Indian team makes a stunning comeback, with Kapil hitting one six after another, smashing dressing room windows, glasses and windscreens of cars. Pankaj Tripathi, who plays the then-manager of the team PR Man Singh, tells Kapil, “35 saal pehle hum log aazaadi jeete, magar izzat jeetna baaki hai, kaptaan (We won independence 35 years ago but we are yet to win respect, captain).” Ranveer as Kapil declares at the press conference that they are ‘here to win’, inviting sniggers from the handful of reporters who attended the event.

As Kapil Dev comes out of the shower, he realises the situation after he sees his top batsman Sunil Gavaskar in the dressing room.

Set against the backdrop of the 1983 cricket world cup (officially Prudential Cup '83), '83' is a story of how a team of underdogs, whose competence to win is questioned by one and all at every step, managed to reach the summit of world cricket. Highly anticipated across the country by movie fans and cricket fans alike, '83' sees Ranveer Singh portray India's greatest all-rounder and world cup-winning captain, Kapil Dev.
