Cricket fans bowled over by Indian legend's visit to Leicester and Maz was there to capture it all. One of cricket's most iconic figures Kapil Dev has visited Leicester – to the delight of his fans.
Hundreds of fans, fresh from celebrating India's victory over Sri Lanka in the World Cup, lined the city's Golden Mile to greet the retired star, who captained the Indian side when they last won the trophy, in 1983.
A hail of flowers and confetti greeted the motorcade as it arrived at the Belgrave Neighbourhood Centre, where a select audience put questions to their hero.
Up to 200 people gathered for the question-and-answer session with Kapil at the Neighbourhood Centre, in Rothley Street, including 50 readers who won tickets in a Leicester Mercury Competition.
Leicester East MP Keith Vaz, who invited Kapil to Leicester as his guest requested Maz to be there to snap this special moment. Being a committed cricket fan himself Maz was thrilled to be given this opportunity.
