India’s Best ODI XI of the 1980s

#6 Kapil Dev

Kapil Dev was arguably India’s finest all-rounder to grace the game

Kapil Dev was arguably India’s finest all-rounder to grace the game. The ‘Haryana Hurricane’ was a natural athlete with tremendous stamina and fitness levels.

Kapil who possessed one of the most lethal out swingers led the Indian seam attack with distinction. He was a power hitter who could change the course of the game with his belligerent hitting. Dev led by example with his superlative fielding across the turf.

His work ethics were unparalleled and the skipper’s charisma rubbed off on the entire team.
