Melbourne, Jul 21: Legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev is all set to fulfill the last wish of an Indian migrant to Australia who died more than six decades ago.
Kapil will land in Australia this weekend to collect the ashes of one Pooran Singh and take them to India for immersion.
Kapil will also attend a ceremony organised by the Victorian Sikh Community this Sunday to collect the ashes.
Pooran, who migrated to Australia 111 years ago, had wished that his ashes be immersed in River Ganges.
Alice Guyett-Wood, owner of the funeral company which took care of the ashes for the last 63 years, said, "it is fantastic and an emotional moment for us to have his last wish fulfilled."
Pooran was cremated in June 1947 with his relatives in India being notified of his death by telegram.
