Former Indian cricket legend and the world cup winning captain, Kapil Dev has been honoured with a Lifetime Achievement award at a ceremony in the House of Lords in London. The award was constituted by the Indo-European Business Forum [IEBF] for his contribution to the sport and for his work in the field of upliftment of poor and destitute communities through the Khushii society.

A delighted Kapil in his speech after the award ceremony said, he is very proud to be Indian. “I used to hate England because they ruled my country but I am happy they gave us the game of cricket, which they can’t play very well, and the English language, which I can’t speak very well,” added Kapil.
