5 best all-rounders in Indian cricket team till date

#1 Kapil Dev

Kapil Dev

Kapil Dev is unarguably the best Indian all-rounder the world has ever seen. His prolific seam bowling and aggressive batting, which seemed to be way ahead of time, made him a force to reckon in World cricket. Moreover, he made waves in Indian cricket when he led the Indian team to their first World Cup title in 1983 out of nowhere.

He had prolific records in both Test and ODI cricket, playing 131 and 225 matches respectively in the two formats. By the time he retired, he already had 9031 international runs and 687 international wickets to his name.

His innings of 175* against Zimbabwe in the 1983 World Cup is still considered as the best innings by an Indian batsman in World Cup history. He is the only player in cricket history to have achieved the double of 5000 runs and 400 wickets in Tests. He was bestowed with the title of the ‘Wisden Indian Cricketer of the Century’.
