The Haryana Hurricane

Kapil's greatest triumph will not be his 434 wickets, nor will it be his swahbucking 175 not out against Zimbabwe in the World Cup of 1983. Nor will it be his amazing longevity. In fact, nothing will match his feat of leading the Indian team to victory in the Prudential World Cup.

He will always be remembered as the man who led India into a new era, in which cricket is more than just another game.

Kapil's career statistics:

Tests
131 matches, 5,248 runs (8 centuries) , 434 wickets.

ODIs
225 matches, 3,728 runs (1 century) , 253 wickets.
