KAPIL DEV IN HIS BEST 63

(The Quiver) The legendary Kapil Dev celebrates his 63rd birthday today, January 16. Arguably the greatest cricketer in the history of Indian cricket, Kapil became the country’s first World-Cup winning captain when he led India to a World Cup win in 1983. A team which no one backed, Kapil led it from the front to defeat the mighty West Indies and trigger India’s love towards the sport, which today has transformed into a nation-wide passion.

In a 16-year-long career, Kapil scripted many a memorable record, the most prominent being his tally of 434 Test wickets, which stood tall for six years after since his retirement. Even today, Kapil remains in the list of top-10 leading wicket-takers in the world and next only to Anil Kumble as far as Indian bowlers are concerned. 

However, it wasn’t only the ball with which Kapil made an impact. Besides grabbing 687 wickets, the former India captain holds an impressive batting record of over 9000 international runs with nine centuries and 41 fifties. Easily the greatest all-rounder produced by India, Kapil was the original ‘hitter’, his lusty blows with the bat was the type that was never seen by anyone in the country.

Many wishes came for this legendary cricketer ,the celebrations of the born day of this legendary man is not less than an occasion of festival for this country.
