The 1983 World Cup winning captain, Kapil Dev was probably the greatest allrounder India has ever produced. He was one of the fittest cricketers during his generation and one of the most energetic players on the field.

Kapil Dev never missed an international game due to injury. He played 66 consecutive Test matches before he was surprisingly dropped from the team for the Kolkata Test against England in 1984 for getting out to an extravagant shot as India were trying to save the Test match.

After being dropped for one test, Kapil returned to the team and played another 65 consecutive Tests before retiring in 1994.
