Syed Kirmani on Kapil Dev’s 175 in 1983 World Cup: Have never seen such a devastating inning in that situation from any batsman of my era

The Hindu  

India’s limited-overs cricket received a shot in the arm when the team, dubbed ‘Kapil’s Devils’, marched to a sensational World Cup triumph at Lord’s in 1983. And while we were sitting in the dressing room—I can recall this very well—after the match, one of our teammates screamed his lungs out from the washroom in absolute ecstasy, “Hey, we’ve beaten the World Champions, man!” I think the majority of us inside the dressing room then went into a chorus. In our very first team meeting, it was the greatness of Kapil to have said, ‘Gentlemen, I’m lucky to have seven experienced players by my side, and I don’t have to tell you what your responsibilities are, you’re going to guide me.’ For a captain to say such a thing with seniors around him, I take that as a big compliment. The conditions at Tunbridge Wells were not very well read —no team would’ve batted first after winning the toss, but Kapil did just that.
