    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, April 26: <\/strong>Former Indian captain Kapil Dev said that his new bald look with a beard is inspired by West Indies great Viv Richards whom he described as his hero and 2011 World Cup winning Indian captain M.S. Dhoni.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I had seen Sir Vivian Richards on your Instagram. He is my hero so (I thought) why not? I&#39;ll follow my hero. I also saw Dhoni who is also my hero and he had cut his hair after winning the World Cup. So I thought why not, now I have the chance so I did it,&quot; Kapil said in a video tweeted by Chennai Super Kings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Richards respond to the CSK tweet, saying: &quot;Hahaha You took the right inspiration my friend @therealkapildev (sic.)&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dhoni had famously cut off his long locks after winning the 2007 World T20 and even sported a semi-bald look after winning the 2011 World Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kapil&#39;s bald look with a beard is also quite similar to what Richards has carried for the better part of his retired life. The two have faced off on the field a number of times, most prominently in the final of the 1983 World Cup in which Kapil&#39;s rather unheralded Indian team stunned the mighty West Indies and won the trophy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was only the third time that the tournament was being held and the first time that a team apart from the West Indies had won it.<\/p>\r\n",
