There were great cricketers before Kapil but there has been no champions India has seen before Kapil arrived in the scene. For the first time in 1977 Indian selectors betted on raw talent and what a move that was... A pure all round rustic talent, total team player and a great cricketing leader... He gave most of the folks like us what it takes and what it feels like to be on top of the sporting world.. not just cricket 1983 June 25 was the zenith, but the four gruelling years prior to that have shaped and transformed Kapil and the Indian team to gain new found belief and self confidence that was unparalleled in the history of Indian Cricket 🏏
For your kind information he started playing for India in 1978 and I have seen his all test matches as I had been his diehard fan and surely there were others like Ian Botham , Imran Khan and Richard Hadlee but Kapil was the fittest and the best of all of them for sure !!! India's best moments were the 1983 W'Cup win under Kapil's leadership and 1985 World Championship under Gavaskar's captaincy were inspired by Kapil's all-round display and that's where India took long strides towards becoming a force in world cricket !!!
No doubt the Great Kapil Dev. Having followed cricket religiously since 1987 when I was a eight year old kid, I still believe that Kapil Paaji is the one and only one of the great allrounder that India has produced. I still feel that an allrounder of that calibre is yet to come!! And he used to compete with the stature of likes of Ian Bottham, Imran Khan and Richard Hadlee all of who use to have Kapil in their highest regard!!
How cool he was while hitting those mighty sixes. One of the greatest all rounders in cricket. He raised India's cricket graph to a different level. 🎉🎉
For us, Kapil was an emotion, even now he is our undisputed hero. Kapil’s bowling action looks so simple but majestic and deadly, his batting was effortless. Greatest sportsman of all time.
Kapil Dev finest all rounder and gentleman cricketer India has produced. His classic onslaught inning scoring 175 not out in 1983 World Cup match was finest in adverse conditions
How he is calm and composed. Not any drama. Simple celebration.❤ Nowadays the cricket players are nowhere near to him. Highly ridiculous activities if they get a wicket .😂😂
Because at that time it was just cricket! In today’s age it’s all a big show and sport is second! Antics, celebrations, confrontations, PR…..it’s a big show
what a beautiful commentary !! after 3 sixes ".. irony. 18 of the over so far and the fielders are coming in" :)) the closer the ball get to Kapil, the farther it goes ...
That’s the sign of a great all rounder, None other than Kapil Dev . Look at today’s players being so arrogant and they are NOTHING as compared to our great All Rounder. 👍👍👍
No modern Bats.. No Modern Day Training And Computer💻 Coaching.. NO stardom Money.. Just Absolute Pride Playing for India.. Sheer Talent and Unbeatable Hardwork.. 🔥🔥🔥
When ever there is a disaster for India there stood the mighty Kapil as a good Saviour, The best of them was his innings in Word up 83 against Zimbabwe..,,
Unbelievable stuff. Hitting 4 successive 6's to avoid follow on with a bunny with the bat as the non striker as the last batsman could happen only in a wildest dream. But Kapil is always different. He did it nonchalantly.❤❤
An observation: it’s like kapil sir, knew this was the only window to catch up. He strategically assessed the situation and came to a BOLD decision to go for it. Aggressive, Audacious leadership. This kind of leadership is so rare in modern times. But seeing him do it in early India cricket is a testament to his commitment, leadership and foresightedness. Truly a great captain and World Champion Leader! Thank you for posting this.
A selfless player who always played for country and its pride. He played and earned honours against deadly oppositions like clive's westindies, south african giants, top englishmen like Iyan bothom, newzealand's richard hadly pakistan's pace battery and impacted all of them deeply.
I had the privilege of watching him bat & bowl in Hyderabad in the 199x Ind vs NZ series which included Hadlee. His batting was so calm yet powerful & his bowling was smooth yet sharp with his classic run up and perfect line and length. His outwingers were a treat to watch and his in cutters simply unplayable ! I remember he clean bowled many top order batsmen...so many times !!! My hero forever, Kapil paaji !! 😍😇
Dev was considered as a giant . In Pakistan 🇵🇰 as a Child i believe he was a giant which means in Dev . But he was truly a terrific giant player . From Pakistani Aussie .
No bull shit like King, Goat or Emperor and simply sheer genuis of an allrounder who competed toe to toe with other 3 magnificent all-rounders of his time. Just imagine, Kapil praji just delivered an innings of 77 not out and he has to come out and take the new ball to start bowling again. What a player....
It is only fitting that Kapil Dev was the one to win the first world cup as the determined captain, ruthless bowler and calm batsman. He is my same age and I started my interest in cricket with the telecast and broadcast of world cup matches in 1983 and Kapil Dev is the one cricketeer whom I like and respect.
Only few players have played life saving knocks for India Gavaskar, GRV, Kapil Dev, Rahul Dravid, VVS, MSD Rest of the great batsmen have only played when the going was smooth
Brilliant cricket from Kapil Dev. Brilliant commentary from Richie Benaud ("doodle-bug?" - ie WW2 German V1 missile).. I have no idea why Hemmings didn't have the intelligence to fire in a brisk yorker on leg stump for that last delivery............

This generation will never know what a mighty athlete Kapil Dev was. Glad watched him play until his retirement.
TRUE
World ka top alrounder sir kapil dev or Koi Nahi
For your kind information he started playing for India in 1978 and I have seen his all test matches as I had been his diehard fan and surely there were others like Ian Botham , Imran Khan and Richard Hadlee but Kapil was the fittest and the best of all of them for sure !!!

True
Yes true
Great, I also started watching cricket from 1987, from reliance cup world cup.
Yes
Kapil was a pure genius.He was Indias greatest ever cricketer and one of the greatest cricketer of all times.
Undoubtedly world's greatest all rounder not only for India, without Kapil nobody can think cricket in mind for the generations to come...my salute
Thanks for watching!
How cool he was while hitting those mighty sixes. One of the greatest all rounders in cricket. He raised India's cricket graph to a different level. 🎉🎉
There won't be another Kapil Dev in the history of Indian cricket

Words are not enough to say how brave Kapil Paji is..
Great Cricketer and even better Human Being much Respected in Oz blokes like Me Kohli could do worse than take a few Lessons from this man 🇦🇺👌
That's the way Kapil Dev the great plays to save india on many occasion. 👏
That too many times.All time great Indian cricketer
How he is calm and composed.
Not any drama. Simple celebration.❤
Nowadays the cricket players are nowhere near to him.
Highly ridiculous activities if they get a wicket .😂😂
Because at that time it was just cricket! In today’s age it’s all a big show and sport is second! Antics, celebrations, confrontations, PR…..it’s a big show
Yes I agree more money has spoilt the sport and spirit of the game.
what a beautiful commentary !! after 3 sixes ".. irony. 18 of the over so far and the fielders are coming in" :)) the closer the ball get to Kapil, the farther it goes ...
Thanks for watching!
He would have absolutely ruled the T20 game
Yes, no doubt about that. 🎉
That’s the sign of a great all rounder, None other than Kapil Dev . Look at today’s players being so arrogant and they are NOTHING as compared to our great All Rounder. 👍👍👍
Well Said..Arrogance at peak..After taking one important wicket or catch player run through the entire ground to celebrate😀😀
Current players arrogance comes from money and no fear of the Board
No modern Bats.. No Modern Day Training And Computer💻 Coaching.. NO stardom Money.. Just Absolute Pride Playing for India.. Sheer Talent and Unbeatable Hardwork.. 🔥🔥🔥
Well said ! If you look closely, even their flannels and t-shirts are not that good quality but their passion unbelievable !
Calm down Mate. They're still 200 runs short of England's 1st innings score.
I remember this movement ..other end Narendra Hirwani ..who immediately out in next over for first ball..Kapil the great...genuine all rounder.
Those classic 'real' cricket will not be reborn
Yes, those days they have no such facilities and funds still they played for country not for money.
Larger boundaries difficult to hit boundaries 😊
Still enjoying Test cricket in 2025 though!
Exciting commentary. Really captures the feel of those sixes
Mr. Kapil is the GURU of indian cricket. He won us world cup.
He only introduced 20 overs cricket in India. I just love him
He cleared all them well over the boundary!in those days cricket was something else!
A great all-rounder.... One of those few instilled Cricket in the hearts of millions like me in 80s....
Kapil dev is the ultimate hero younger cricketers.
Pure heart and always positive in all aspects
When ever there is a disaster for India there stood the mighty Kapil as a good Saviour, The best of them was his innings in Word up 83 against Zimbabwe..,,
Yes. Came in when India was 17/5 and hit 175 n.o. Unfortunately, there was no video recording, as bbc staff were on strike on that day..
Yes
Greatest ever Indian cricketer
Great hitting.Kapil Dev is the greatest cricketer produced by India!
कपिल देव एक प्राकृतिक और अदभुत ऑलराउंडर हरफनमौला खिलाड़ी।
Unbelievable stuff. Hitting 4 successive 6's to avoid follow on with a bunny with the bat as the non striker as the last batsman could happen only in a wildest dream. But Kapil is always different. He did it nonchalantly.❤❤
Honestly I believe he could have easily hit 6 sixes . Amazing stuff .
U r absolutely right@@drsmart0078
An observation: it’s like kapil sir, knew this was the only window to catch up. He strategically assessed the situation and came to a BOLD decision to go for it.

Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for watching!
Lion hearted cricketer world ever produced
Hitting those 4 consecutive sixes isn't as easy as it looks. Kapil Dev the greatest all rounder of India. Kapil Dev the match winner.
There is no word to express what he is..simply a God gifted athlet.Kapil Dev was man of utility and pride of India...
A selfless player who always played for country and its pride. He played and earned honours against deadly oppositions like clive's westindies, south african giants, top englishmen like Iyan bothom, newzealand's richard hadly pakistan's pace battery and impacted all of them deeply.
... and that's it. That sums it up. Kapil keeps it simple. Genius!
I had the privilege of watching him bat & bowl in Hyderabad in the 199x Ind vs NZ series which included Hadlee. His batting was so calm yet powerful & his bowling was smooth yet sharp with his classic run up and perfect line and length. His outwingers were a treat to watch and his in cutters simply unplayable ! I remember he clean bowled many top order batsmen...so many times !!! My hero forever, Kapil paaji !! 😍😇
The greatest all rounder Kapil paaji.
I saw this match saving innings by kapil dev. He hit 4 sixes and saved india from follow on. He always plays great cricket. 👏👏👏
நினைத்தான், முடித்தான்...தன் அணியில் யாரையும் நிந்திக்கவும் இல்லை, எதிரணியின் திறமையைப் பார்த்து பயமும் இல்லை, அவனே உண்மையான தலைவன்...
Pride of India
The size of the bat and the size of the ground. Its unfair comparing the stats of today's batsmen with the ones of those days.
He brought tremendous energy into Indian cricket. He was always a tiger on the field.
I have never seen a spirited allrounder like Kapil Dev the Great
Dev was considered as a giant . In Pakistan 🇵🇰 as a Child i believe he was a giant which means in Dev . But he was truly a terrific giant player . From Pakistani Aussie .
KAPIL DEV is great playrler and more than great game saw in this era
What a man. He would have been the highest paid cricketer in IPL
Definitely
Well said

Only Kapil ..Dev of Circket can do it ❤
One of the greats of the game... Respect for Kapil❤
कपिल देव की वाणी और स्वभाव में सच्चाई नज़र आती है। सरलता उनका स्वभाव है।
Nostalgic voice of Richie Benaud ❤
It is only fitting that Kapil Dev was the one to win the first world cup as the determined captain, ruthless bowler and calm batsman.

Only the Great Kapil Dev Could have done it.
Pride of 4 all rounders that time
1. Ravi Shasthri
2. Dilip Vengsarkar
3. Manoj Prabhakar
4. KAPIL DEV, the Great..
@raglandpaul1413 vengsarker All-rounder to ni thay
@@raglandpaul14131. Kapil dev. 2. Imran khan. 3. Ian Botham 4. Richard hadlee
Vengsarkar is not allrounder 😅
India’s best all-rounder till date. Period 🔥
This was Kapil. All time hero.
Kapil Dev Great Allrounder
Kapildev is real hero for Indian cricket
❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊Aaj Aise order ki jarurat hai Bharat ko😊😊Kapil Paji Jaisa allrounder Na Koi hoga😊😊😊😊
This is memorable
Loveliest cricketer of all time
One and only best all rounder we have had
Kapil Dev true hero of Indian cricket, best captain
Kapil Dev ji is one of the greatest cricketers.
Kapil, the incomparable.
कपिल पाजी था जवाब नहीं,धन्यवाद 🇮🇳👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It’s quite ironic that team scoring 653 is under pressure rather than team at 448/9
Legendary Kapil ❤
Easily the greatest cricket all rounder india has had & gavaskar easily the best opener india has produced 😊
"Only kapildev could have done that" acknowledgement by sunny ❤❤
Thanks for watching!
The great kapil dev
Kapil Dev was the OG superstar of Indian cricket
But still India lost & that blistering knock of Kapil went to vain. Even Azhar cracked over run a ball hundred in the same match.
And don't forget Goochie's 333 and 123! Thanks for watching!
Maine ye match dekha tha❤love kapil sir
What was the final result of this match?
Did avoiding the follow on save this match for India?
Kapil is no. 1 all time indian cricketer followed by sunny and sachin
Only few players have played life saving knocks for India
Gavaskar, GRV, Kapil Dev, Rahul Dravid, VVS, MSD
Rest of the great batsmen have only played when the going was smooth
Pure genius,the great man Kapil
Great inning of sir Kapil Dev
The great man ❤❤❤
90s kid remember this with pride and awe
Haryana Hurricane I am a fan of him great all-rounder
कपिल देव एक अद्वितीय खिलाड़ी।
Brilliant cricket from Kapil Dev. Brilliant commentary from Richie Benaud ("doodle-bug?" - ie WW2 German V1 missile).. I have no idea why Hemmings didn't have the intelligence to fire in a brisk yorker on leg stump for that last delivery............
What a stupendous player❤❤
1 of best tests ever
Kapil Dev, The Great.
Our Great KAPILJI🎉
Sunil Gavaskar: Commenting while Kapil Dev playing, Sachin Playing, Kohli Playing, Nitish Kumar Reddy Playing. 😂 “Commentator forever” 😅
Aj ki generation ko yeh video dikhao jo pandya aur jadeja ko best allrounder batate hav😊😅 kapil is th best indian all rounder in th history 😅
Exceptional ability to play under pressure
कपिल दा जवाब नहीं😊
Palmolive 😊
Kapil was the first to show that we too can WIN!
Every decade India has its own goat. Kapil in 80s, Sehwag in 90s, Dhoni 00s, Kohli 10s and now probably to be seen
This is stupendous cricket by Kapil Dev, an altime favourite
Hirwani had the most stylish batting stance in the Indian team. Only problem was that his bat rarely hit the ball
Greatest all rounder from our country and humble human being...Still our hunt is on to replace the greatest man ...😂
Although I am Sachin's fan according to me Kapildev is the India's greatest cricketer.
Great All Rounder
Pakistan had Javed Miandad and Imran Khan, India had Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar.
England had Beefy Botham, Bob Willis, Graham Gooch and David Gower.
Only Kapil Dev could have done that back then. Only Kapil Dev!
India failed to produce another Kapil Dev yet. Legend Kapil Dev ❤
