Amidst buzzing crowd and electrifying music, when the legendary cricketer Kapil Dev unveiled his first-ever wax statue and stood beside it, it was a treat for his fans.
At a recent event in Delhi, the 58-year-old sportsperson’s wax figure is the latest addition at the Madame Tussauds Delhi location, which has quite a few sports icons. His fans at the museum can also test their cricket skills at a specially dedicated area.
Known as an all-rounder, Kapil made his mark in the history of Indian cricket by leading the national team to the historic Cricket World Cup triumph in 1983. A voice clip of the commentary of the ’83 World Cup was played at the venue before the unveiling of the wax statue.
