Post World Cup, a slump in Kapil’s batting form saw Gavaskar return as captain for a brief period of time. However, he regained his leadership role and led India for the title defence in the 1987 World Cup at home. India reached the semi-finals but lost unexpectedly to England. Kapil Dev took responsibility and never captained India again, although he continued to be India’s frontline pacer till he retired in 1994 as Test cricket’s highest wicket-taker.
Today on his 59th Birthday we are presenting some rare pics of Kapil Dev from his cricket days.
