Kapil Dev, the ultimate and aggressive face of Indian cricket, unveiled his first wax figure for Madame Tussauds. Kapil’s incredibly detailed figure was crafted from over 300 measurements and photographs. It is sculpted in an iconic, dynamic bowling pose of the cricket star. This is a fan favourite and freeze-frames him in action from the memorable victory of the 1983 World Cup.
During the unveiling of his figure, Kapil Dev said, “I’m honoured to get my wax figure among such icons of the nation at Madame Tussauds Delhi. Receiving this at the age of 58 it is a huge credit that furthermore motivates me as an individual to evolve more. I am grateful to the entire team of Madame Tussauds, who put all their efforts in the figure, and thankful to my fans who have chosen me to be a part of their attraction. The whole process of making my wax figure has been an exciting journey, and I am fascinated to see the intrinsic details beautifully captured.”
Apart from him, the museum will feature wax reinterpretations of icons like Sachin Tendulkar, Argentina star footballer lionel Messi and legendary football star David Beckham.
