  "account": "Former Indian cricket captain Kapil Dev has turned his attention to golf, expressing his desire to promote the sport as a means of reducing the dominance of cricket in India. Kapil, who led India to their first ever World Cup title in 1983, is the president of the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) and is actively working to make golf more accessible to the masses. Despite the high costs associated with the game, Kapil believes that golf offers unique advantages such as a low entry price for clubs and bags, and its individual nature where a player's success is solely attributed to their own efforts. He hopes that by showcasing his passion for golf, he can inspire others to take up the sport and contribute to its growth in the country.",
