Achievements And Accolades
Kapil Dev, the man who remained India's main strike bowler for almost 15 years, needs no introduction. On many occasions he single-handedly won matches for India and easily became the most popular pin-up boy of the country. For an Indian fast bowler, taking 434 wickets in test cricket is indeed a great achievement. When Kapil was just 20, he set a new record of scoring 1000 runs and taking 100 wickets. He made this record within a period of one year and 109 days only.Kapil Dev was the man who marshaled his boys to the most famous victory in Indian Cricket- the cricket world cup of 1983. Not only did he jelled the team together but also played the most memorable knock, in the history of the world cup cricket, against Zimbabwe. Kapil came to bat when India were almost out of the match at 17/5. And then he played like God and robbed the match from the opposition. He was rightly named the Wisden International Cricketer of the Year in 1983.
