Kapil Dev sir literally carried the entire team on his back on that day (in terms of batting order). He entered at 9/4 and raised the bar till a spectacular 266/8, putting 175 runs of his own. Words cannot describe that level of performance, under that level of pressure.
Dada, dhoni, dravid, kumble, virat, rohit.. all of them stands behind in the queue... For the greatest Indian cricket team captain of all time.. bow down the real king... Sir Kapil Dev 🙌
@@Vasudeva777 one thing to remember, when Kapil was playing India was nothing in Cricketing world. When he retired India was big in world cricket. When Dhoni was captain India is controlling World cricket. That is why Kapil is a legend. All these things were made possible by this one man.
17-5 and 175* was remarkable inning. This inning change the way of Indian cricket! Inning of highest class and caliber. The situation he came and score 175* is probably the greatest ever inning of ODI cricket history!
@@ultralegendarybeast101 Don't agree, It was just a series but not a world cup, After 91-7, he scored 201* while chasing so obviously it will be ahead, can only be compared with Kapil Dev's innings of 175 in 1983 world cup.
@@rajarshikarmakar1995 Well Kapil Dev's situation was even worse. Kapil Dev came in at 9-4. India's situation was even worse at 17-5. Also India was at 78-7 while Austrailia was at 91-7 as you mentioned. Therefore Kapil Dev's innings is the better one.
Kapil Dev was the first true superstar of Indian cricket, who made cricket fashionable and glamorous in India, in a country where more classic, orthodox batsmen were ruling the charts and mostly spinners were produced out of the domestic cricket systems, a strongly built jatt, hitting hard and out of the park, then running in to bowl fast and swinging deliveries..first of his kind and India will forever be thankful for having Kapil as one it's greatest sports icon ever.
This innings from kapil paaji gave our team the confidence that we can become the champioons of the world just like maxwell's innings against Afghanistan in wc 23
When Sunil Gavaskar retired we got Sachin Tendulkar the master blaster. When Sachin Tendulkar retired then the King arrived. When the king will retire someone definitely will take that place. With due respect all great cricket players of India, there is no doubt that Kapil Dev is still the greatest cricket player ever played for India!! Even Wisden also marked him little bit ahead of Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar and rated him the the greatest Indian cricketer and they are absolute right. Before his arrival there was no player like him in Indian cricket team and even after his retirement upto now India haven't find any player who can be even with 50-60% caliber like him. If all other great Indian cricketers are like costly Gold then Kapil Dev is like a precious Diamond which can be only marked as a national treasure not only in monetary value. Kapil paaji ka jawab nahin!!! Salute to this national hero!!!
Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, & Virat Kohli, have been exceptional. Maybe Arjun Tendulkar will be next. I still can't understand why Shikhar Dhawan didn't play CWC 2023.
@@ultralegendarybeast101 Exactly. Shikhar Dhawan should have been included into cwc2023. It would help to maintain a perfect left hand right hand combination also.
@@LoveUnityPeace Not much expectation. Shubhman Gill have few technical problems though he is improving step by step. May be he will be next Rohit Sharma
Sayyed Kirmani ka bhi bahot bada credit hai agr wo apne end se wicket nhi bachata or baqi sari team ki tarah out hojata to India kahan se jeetti, He is the equal contributor who handle the pressue with Kapil dev
I remember this match…even against West Indies he had played great. That 83 World Cup win is most exceptional one man show ever done in cricket history.
An innings we cud not see. But Kapil paaji ka jawab nahin .... just to sum it up. This innings is the root of Indian cricket till date ans will remain for ever.
it is the moment when match turns in favour of india.. and indian fans starts celebrating the indian way.. how beautifully they made this scene... covid killed this movie
No one believed Team India to lift the World Cup 1983, No one believed Team Australia to lift the World Cup 2003, It was Kapil who played an outstanding 183 vs Zim It was Maxwell who played an outstanding 200 vs Afg Kapil took an outstanding catch in the final to get rid of Vivian Richards Head took an outstanding catch in the final to get rid off Rohit
This innings is just like Maxwell's 200 he scored against Afghanistan Australia were all over the place before that Suddenly they were full of confidence and won the cup
This innings is way beyond any other great innings (there have been a few) simply for the individual batting, the game situation and the tournament situation. The most unique situation is it was never televised. The records for this game are literally documented in a way 100 years old where only world and grainy still pictures were captured.
