?Among the responses, one user humorously quipped, "Does it shoot electric sparks when you say 'chain kulii ki main kulii?'" evoking fond memories of a popular Indian movie. Another sentiment echoed the passage of time, with a user expressing, "Now there is my nostalgia, damn we are getting old."
However, speculation arose regarding the authenticity of the signatures, with a user suggesting, "This is not a signed bat, but a replica of team signatures laminated on the bat. I think the bat user knew it and that’s the reason he used this bat for daily playing instead of preserving it." Nevertheless, many hailed the bat as a priceless memento, encapsulating a significant moment in Indian cricket history.
The viral post serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the 1983 World Cup victory and the sentimental value attached to memorabilia associated with cricketing milestones.
