I remember reading Imran's book, and he spoke about this tour. He mentioned how afraid his players were but motivated them by warning every player that if he saw any batsman backing away from the W I pacemen, they would be put on the first plane back to Pakistan. A great player,and an even greater leader of men. Bishen Bedi could have learned a lot from him.
That particular tour was later in late 80s , Bishan Bedi was a bit defensive but Kapil turned the entire cricket of India in just 3 years after his debut
@shehzad28666 I think Imran Khan wrote a couple of books, and I read them a long time ago, so you could be right. I do recall how he mentioned that on the tour bus,heading to the Test Match,no one spoke to each other and that the atmosphere amongst his players was almost funereal. And yet,once he got his players onto the pitch,no other team gave the W I more trouble than Pakistan. A very great player,as was Kapil Dev.
Wasim Hassan Raja ki best series thi I think he hit 14 Sixes in this series Kevin Peterson level the record after long time

I heard that imran khan bowled very fast and got good wickets against mighty West Indies
I remember seeing clips of Robert’s bowling to majid. He beat him a few times outside off stump .
Plus Imran bowling also
You will see in part 2, though very bad quality broadcast from carribean

Nice narration, but your blatant bias against bowling figures in scorecards is obvious
