If he had played at any other time - not when Imran Khan, Ian Botham and Richard Hadlee were contemporaries - he would surely have been recognised as the best allrounder in the world. In any case he did enough to be voted India's Cricketer of the Century during 2002, ahead of Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar. His greatest feats were to lead India almost jauntily, and by his all-round example, to the 1983 World Cup, and to take the world-record aggregate of Test wickets from Hadlee. It was the stamina of the marathon runner that took him finally to 431 wickets and only a yard beyond. He might not have been quite the bowling equal of Imran, Hadlee or Botham at his best, and his strike rate was less than four wickets per Test, but he was still outstanding in his accuracy and ability to swing the ball, usually away from right-handers. And he could hit a ball even more brilliantly than he bowled it, with uncomplicated flair. Read More Gideon Haigh on Kapil Dev Un-Indian idol He bowled fast at a time when his country didn't produce fast bowlers; his spirit lives on through the style and aggression of modern Indian teams Stats analysis India's first fast-bowling match-winner Kapil overcame huge odds to become one of the leading fast bowlers of his era. And he was at his best against the best team of his time This is my finest hour: Kapil Dev G. VISWANATH "There is Sachin and then there is daylight" - Shane Warne. "He (Tendulkar) is simply the best, why argue about it?" - David Gower. "He is the best batsman in the world today and for the next four or five years" - Steve Waugh. THE Australian cricketers are Tendulkar fans. The day Sachin Tendulkar undid the mysteries of Shane Warne in the Mumbai v Australia three-dayer at the Brabourne Stadium in 1998, the likes of Mark Taylor, Steve Waugh and Shane Warne joined the bandwagon of Tendulkar supporters. N. SRIDHARAN Those nominees for the prestigious 'Indian Cricketer of the Century' award, who attended the function were (from left to right): Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, Bishan Singh Bedi, Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, Anil Kumble and Gundappa Visvanath. This picture was taken after Kapil Dev was declared the winner. Also seen are the comperes, Mark Nicholas and Diana Hayden. The two Australians and an Englishman quoted above were not present at the Wembley Conference Centre on July 23 to celebrate the announcement of the 'Indian Cricketer of the Century.' They appeared on the big screen, indulged in some hero-worship and led everybody to believe that the little champion from Mumbai would pip the iconic figures of Indian cricket, Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev. Wisden's 'Indian Cricketer of the Century' award was literally down to the 'Big Three' whose career put together has spanned four and a half decades. Gavaskar's credentials were impeccable, Kapil Dev's mightier and magnificent, and Tendulkar's compared with Don Bradman. "It must have been very difficult to pick the winner", said India's present captain, Sourav Ganguly. Clive Lloyd said "Sunny Gavaskar had immense powers of concentration and Kapil Dev's performances are greater because he bowled on unhelpful Indian pitches." The Australians gave a big vote for Tendulkar. People had already taken sides. When the momentous hour arrived, Sir Vivian Richards said: "I am shaking in my boots. It's like a 100-metre dash wherein three are bunched together. But there has to be a winner, and he is one of my favourite cricketers, Kapil Dev. He was one of the fiercest competitors on the field. I never believed he was involved in match-fixing. Someone who can do that and show so much passion on the field must be a good actor." The final jury was made up of 32 cricketers from all over the world and three journalists. They had short-listed 16 cricketers for the prestigious awards: Lala Amarnath, Mohammad Azharuddin, Bishan Singh Bedi, Bhagwat Chandrashekar, Dinkar Deodhar, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Vijay Hazare, Anil Kumble, Vinoo Mankad, Vijay Merchant, C. K. Nayudu, Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, Sachin Tendulkar, Dilip Vengsarkar and Gundappa Visvanath. It was amid joyous scenes that Kapil Dev Nikhanj was crowned the 'Indian cricketer of the Century.' The build-up by Wisden Almanack, on the night, put six distinguished cricketers in the race for the ultimate honour. Two of the legends Col. C. K. Nayudu and Vinoo Mankad were dead. The other four were Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi, Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev and Sachin Tendulkar. Naturally, Kapil Dev was overcome by emotions. The match-fixing allegations caused an upheaval in his life not long ago. He recovered his poise slowly. Though he vowed to keep a safe distance from the game, he could not do so. For, he has been in the news related to cricketing activities. The "Haryana Hurricane" regards India's World Cup winning feat as the crowning glory of his career, closely followed by his collection of 434 wickets and the series win in England in 1986. He would be perhaps tempted to treat the Wisden award on a par with his other big achievements. After receiving the trophy made of bronze, which stands for dignity and greatness, Kapil Dev said: "This is my finest hour. But I am here because of so many people like my first captain (Bedi) and my champion guru (Gavaskar). I also thank my mother, wife and all my friends". Kapil wished that Tendulkar would break all records and take his career forward. He also referred to Vengsarkar and Shastri and also Mohammad Azharuddin, who he described as "a great batsman and a gem of a cricketer." Azharuddin, one of the 16 nominees for the award was not present at the function. In his short speech, Tendulkar said, "I started playing serious cricket around the time Kapil Dev's Indians won the 1983 World Cup. It was an inspiration for me. I thank the public for the 'People's Choice' award. I also thank my colleagues in the Indian team, which is like a family away from home." N. SRIDHARAN Seems like old times. Clive Lloyd and Srinivas Venkataraghavan at the awards function. Another award winner who received a big ovation was leg spinner Bhagwat Chandrasekhar. He won the 'Best Bowling Performance of the Century' award for his six for 38 against England at the Oval in 1971. He got the vote ahead of Anil Kumble's 10 for 74 against Pakistan at the Ferozeshah Kotla in 1999. Though he did not receive any award, Eknath Solkar, India's finest fielder at short leg said: "I asked Erapally Prasanna, 'Sir, can I stand at short leg? He said I was welcome to do so. Then I took the catches of Doug Walters and Brian Taber. Thereafter Pataudi did not tell me where I should stand. This was during the 1969 Australian tour of India." After receiving his award for the 'Best Batting Performance of the Century,' Venkat Sai Laxman said, "It's great occasion, It's like a dream come true to meet so many legends in this hall. I must also thank Sourav and Dravid who allowed me to bat at No. 3 in that Test match against Australia at Calcutta." England captain Nasser Hussain, who presented the trophy to Laxman, said, "He is a fine player, but I hope he doesn't come to form on Thursday." (the day the Lord's Test was scheduled to begin). Captain Syed Mushtaq Ali, who was given a 'Special Achievement' trophy for being the first Indian to score a century on foreign soil (England, Old Trafford, 1936) said: "This is the best function I have attended in my life." Among the galaxy of cricketers and guests present, apart from the award winners, were Raj Singh Dungarpur, Ajit Wadekar, Madhav Apte, Arvind Apte, Farokh Engineer, Ashok Mankad and Karsan Ghavri.

The 51-year-old played 131 Tests and 225 ODIs across a 16-year career, and is best remembered for leading India to victory in the 1983 World Cup. Kapil made his international debut in a one-dayer against Pakistan in Quetta in October 1978. His Test debut followed two weeks later in Faisalabad against the same opponents. One of the greatest fast bowlers that India has produced and its finest bowling allrounder, he ended with a remarkable 434 Test wickets and 253 ODI wickets. In 1994, he became the leading wicket-taker in Tests when he overtook Richard Hadlee, a record that was eventually broken by West Indies pacer Courtney Walsh. Also, in 1988 he leapfrogged another West Indies fast bowler, Joel Garner, to become the most successful bowler in ODIs, a record he held until 1994 when his tally of 253 wickets was passed by Wasim Akram. Kapil's best bowling figures in a Test were 11 for 146 against Pakistan in Chennai in 1980, while in ODIs his best figures came in the group stages of the 1983 World Cup when he took 5 for 43 against Australia in Nottingham. With the bat, he scored 5248 Test runs, including eight centuries and 27 fifties, at an average of 31.05. He also made 3783 ODI runs, including a highest of 175 not out against Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells during the 1983 World Cup. At a ceremony at the ICC headquarters in Dubai on Monday, ICC president David Morgan, alongside former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd presented Kapil with a commemorative cap. Speaking on the occassion, Kapil said, "I am proud and happy to have been inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame and it's amazing to think that I have been picked as one of the greats of Indian cricket. "I am delighted to have been named alongside so many great players of the game but for me, when I was growing up, the man I always looked up to was Sunil Gavaskar from the moment I started playing cricket. Now to be named also alongside greats of the game such as Clive Lloyd, Richard Hadlee and Wasim Akram it truly fantastic," he said. Morgan said Kapil was an all-time great player. "He did everything. He batted, bowled and he was a fine fielder. I remember the great catch he took to dismiss Viv Richards in the 1983 World Cup final - he was on the run and the ball came over his shoulder, possibly the most difficult of catches." Lloyd, who was Kapil's opposing number in the 1983 World Cup final, said he was a thoroughly deserving induction into the Hall of Fame. "He was a fantastic cricketer and he was a great asset for Indian cricket during his time at the helm," Lloyd said. "He set the pace for them early on and he came to the fore and did wonderfully well - he played like a true champion and was a brilliant leader." Kapil Dev Ramlal Nikhanj (born January 6, 1959) is an Indian legendary cricket icon. He was the captain of the Indian cricket team which won the 1983 Cricket World Cup. Wisden named him the Indian Cricketer of the Century in 2002. He was one of the greatest all-rounders of all-time, Dev played 131 Tests for India taking 434 wickets, record at one time. He was the first player to complete 5,000 runs and 400 wickets in Tests. He has been honoured with the Indian civilian award of Padma Bhushan.

Kapil Dev Nikhanj[1] (About this soundpronunciation (help·info); born 6 January 1959), better known as Kapil Dev, is a former Indian cricketer. He was named by Wisden as the Indian Cricketer of the Century in 2002,[2] Dev captained the Indian cricket team that won the 1983 Cricket World Cup. He was India's national cricket coach between October 1999 and August 2000. He retired in 1994, holding the world record for the greatest number of wickets taken in Test cricket, a record subsequently broken by Courtney Walsh in 2000. At the time, he was also India's highest wicket taker in both major forms of cricket, Tests and ODIs. He is the first player to take 200 ODI wickets. He is the only player in the history of cricket to have taken more than 400 wickets (434 wickets) and scored more than 5000 runs in Tests,[3] making him one of the greatest all-rounders to have played the game.

His mother was born in Pakpattan, in the town of the Sufi saint Baba Farid. His father was from Dipalpur. They lived in Shah Yakka which is now in Okara district Pakistan. His four sisters were born there before partition and his two brothers in Fazilka, where they moved after partition. His father spent his early life after the partition in Fazilka. They moved to the capital city Chandigarh. Dev was a student at D.A.V. School and joined Desh Prem Azad in 1971. Career Dev made an impressive debut for Haryana in November 1975 against Punjab with a 06 wicket haul, restricting Punjab to just 63 runs and helping Haryana to victory. He finished the season with 121 wickets in 30 matches. In the 1976–77 season opener against Jammu & Kashmir, he had a match haul of 8/36 in the win. While his contribution for the rest of that season was ordinary, Haryana qualified for the pre-quarterfinals. Dev achieved his then best innings haul of 8/20 in just 9 overs in the second innings to skittle Bengal for 58 runs in under 19 overs. Haryana lost to Bombay in the quarter finals. He began his 1977–78 season claiming 8/38 in the first innings against Services. With 3 wickets in the second innings, he took his maiden 10-wicket haul in first-class cricket, a feat he would later achieve twice in Test cricket. With 23 wickets in 4 matches, he was selected for the Irani Trophy, Duleep Trophy and Wills Trophy matches. In the 1978–79 season, Haryana had a repeat encounter with Bengal in the pre-quarterfinal match after a lackluster season from Dev (12 wickets from 4 matches). He scored 2 half-centuries in the group stage matches. In the pre-quarterfinal match, he took a 5-wicket haul in the first innings. Poor batting by Haryana in the second innings let Bengal avenge their loss from 2 seasons back by scoring the required 161 runs for the loss of just 4 wickets. Dev stood out in the Irani Trophy match, scoring 62 runs and coming in at number 8. He took 5 catches in the game where Karnataka was defeated by the Rest of India XI. Dev arrived in the national spotlight with a standout performance in the finals of the Duleep Trophy, taking a first innings haul of 7/65 in 24 overs. He was included in the North Zone squad for Deodhar Trophy and Wills Trophy for the first time. He played his first Test match in the season against Pakistan. In the 1979–80 season, Dev showed his batting talent with a maiden century against Delhi when he scored his career best 193. In the pre-quarterfinal match, where he captained Haryana for the first time against Uttar Pradesh, he took a five wicket haul in the second innings to advance to quarterfinals, where they lost to Karnataka. With Dev cementing his place in the Indian national squad, his appearances in domestic matches dwindled.[citation needed] Haryana:- 1990–91 Ranji champions In the 1990–91 Ranji season, Haryana rode into the semi-finals on the back of the bowling performance of Chetan Sharma and the batting performance of Amarjit Kaypee. Dev took centre stage in the semi-final against Bengal, where he led his team to a Mammoth score of 605 runs by scoring 141 as well as taking 5 wickets. The finals of the 1991 season will be remembered for the number of international cricketers who participated, including Kapil Dev, Chetan Sharma, Ajay Jadeja and Vijay Yadav turning up for Haryana and Bombay cricket team represented by Sanjay Manjrekar, Vinod Kambli, Sachin Tendulkar, Dilip Vengsarkar, Chandrakant Pandit, Salil Ankola and Abey Kuruvilla. Deepak Sharma (199), Ajay Jadeja (94) and Chetan Sharma (98) helped Haryana to a score of 522 while Yogendra Bhandari (5 wickets) and Dev (3 wickets) restricted Bombay to 410 runs in the first innings. A crucial 41 from Dev and top scorer Banerjee (60) took Haryana to 242 runs, setting Bombay a target of 355 runs. After the initial wickets, Vengsarkar (139) and Tendulkar (96) fought back for the Bombay team. After Tendulkar's dismissal, Haryana took the final 6 wickets for 102 runs and Vengsarkar and Bombay were stranded 3 runs short of the target. Dev won his maiden and only Ranji Trophy championship.[5][6] In popular culture Bollywood Director Kabir Khan is making a biopic on Dev.

Early Years (1978–1982) Dev made his Test cricket debut in Faisalabad, Pakistan on 16 October 1978. Although his match figures were unimpressive, the numbers did not convey any measure of his contribution. He startled the Pakistani batsmen with his pace and bouncers that struck their helmets on more than one occasion.[8] Dev captured his maiden wicket of Sadiq Mohammad with his trademark outswinger.[9] He showcased his all-rounder talent when he scored India's fastest Test half-century off 33 balls and 2 sixes in each of the innings during the 3rd Test match at National Stadium, Karachi,[10] although India lost the match and the series 2–0. In the ensuing series against a visiting West Indies team, he scored his maiden Test century (126) at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi in just 124 balls[11] and had a steady bowling performance (17 wickets at 33.00). Ominous signs of Dev's liking for England showed up in the ensuring series, his first outside the sub-continent. He picked up his first 5-wicket haul and all of England's wickets, although it came at a huge cost (48 overs and 146 runs conceded) as England scored a mammoth 633 and won the match comfortably.[12] Dev finished the series with 16 wickets though his batting haul of 45 runs (Average: 7.5) was unimpressive. His debut in ODI Cricket happened in the earlier tour of Pakistan where his individual performance was ordinary and it stayed the same as both Dev and India had a poor campaign at the 1979 Cricket World Cup. Dev established himself as India's premier fast bowler when he took two 5-wicket hauls and ended the home series against Australia with 28 wickets (Average: 22.32) and also 212 runs that included a half-century.[13] He gained fame in the 6-Test home series against Pakistan in the 1979–80 season when he led India to 2 victories against the visitors – once with the bat (69) at Wankhede Stadium, Bombay[14] and the second time with bat and ball (10-wicket haul in match – 4/90 in the first innings and 7/56 in the second innings, 84 in 98 balls with his bat) at Chepauk, Madras (Now Chennai).[15] Dev rates his all-round performance in this match as his career best and his second innings figure of 7/56 was his best to-date.[8] During the series, he also became the youngest Test player to achieve the all-round double of 100 Wickets and 1000 Runs and in 25 matches (although Ian Botham took just 21 matches to achieve the same feat) and finished the series with 32 wickets (Ave: 17.68) and 278 runs that included 2 fifties.[16] Dev's career performance graph. India's tour of Australia in 1980–81 had the looks of the familiar Indian series as India were 1–0 down and were defending a meagre 143 runs and Dev virtually ruled out with a groin injury. When Australia finished the fourth day at 18/3, Dev willed himself to play the final day with pain-killing injections and removed the dangerous Australia middle order. Dev won the match for India with the innings bowling performance of 16.4–4–28–5, a bowling performance that figures in his five best bowling performance.[8] During the Australian tour, he scored his first fifty in ODIs against New Zealand at Brisbane. Somehow India's Test cricket sensation was unable to adjust to ODI cricket and had a career start of 278 runs (Average: 17.38) and 17 wickets after 16 ODI matches. A dismal New Zealand tour later,[17] Dev was ready for the 1981–82 home series against England where his five-wicket haul won the first test at Wankhede Stadium, Bombay. He scored 318 runs (Average: 53, 1 century, 1 fifty) and took 22 wickets (2 5-wicket hauls) and walked away with the Man of the Series honours.[18] England saw more of Dev in the ensuing series at home against the Indian cricket team in the 1982 season when he opened with a 5-wicket haul and 130 runs in a losing cause at Lord's.[19] He finished the 3-match series with 292 runs (Ave: 73, 3 fifties) and 10 Wickets and bagged the Man of the Series again.[20] Facing Sri Lanka for the first time, Dev helped himself to a five-wicket haul to kick start the 1982–83 season. In the following tour to Pakistan, Dev and Mohinder Amarnath were the only bright spots in a series dominated by rival all-rounder Imran Khan (40 wickets and 1 century).[21] Dev took a 5/102 haul in the second Test at National Stadium, Karachi, 7/220 in the third Test at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad and 8/85 at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore while he received little support from other team members. After this disastrous tour, Dev was made the captain of the Indian cricket team in place of Sunil Gavaskar. Captain: 1983 World Cup Champions (1982–1984) Dev debuted as India's captain in the 1982–83 season against Sri Lanka (before the Pakistan tour) when Gavaskar was rested. His first assignment as regular captain was the tour of West Indies, where the biggest accomplishment was a lone ODI victory. Dev (72) and Gavaskar (90) led India to a huge score – 282/5 in 47 overs and Dev's 2 wickets aided India to restrict West Indies for 255 and a victory[22] that Indian cricketers claim gave them the confidence to face the West Indies team in 1983 Cricket World Cup.[23] Overall, Dev had a good series in West Indies as he scored a century to save the second test match[24] as well as picking up 17 wickets (Average: 24.94). 1983 World Cup Performance Dev entered the World Cup with an ordinary individual record – 32 Matches, 608 Runs (Average: 21), 34 wickets. India's solitary victory in the previous two World Cups was against East Africa in 1975. Riding on Yashpal Sharma (89 Runs), Roger Binny and Ravi Shastri (3 wickets each), India inflicted the West Indies' first-ever defeat in the World Cup.[25] Following a victory against Zimbabwe, India lost the next two matches – Australia (despite Dev's best career figures of 5/43)[26] and West Indies. India now needed victories against Australia and Zimbabwe to advance to the semifinals. India faced Zimbabwe at Nevill Ground, Royal Tunbridge Wells on 18 June 1983.After falling behind, Dev, batting with the lower order batsmen, stabilised the side with help from Roger Binny (22 runs) and Madan Lal. Dev scored his century off 100 balls. Together with Kirmani (22 runs), Dev put on an unbeaten 126 runs for the 9th wicket – a world record that stood unbroken for 27 years (10,000 days),[27] and finished not out with 175 runs off 138 balls, an innings that included 16 boundaries and 6 sixes. The innings figures in the Top 10 ODI Batting Performances[28] at No. 4. India won the match by 31 runs.[29] It's said that after this match, Dev booked a Mercedes for himself as a reward.[30] In the semifinals India faced the English cricket team. Dev helped curtail the lower order after England lost regular wickets to Binny and Amarnath. He took 3 wickets as India limited England to 213 and the middle order of Amarnath (46 runs), Yashpal Sharma (61) and Sandeep Patil (51*) ensured victory[31] and entry into the finals to take on the West Indies cricket team who were looking for a hat-trick of World Cup titles. West Indies restricted India for 183 runs, with only Krishnamachari Srikkanth (38 runs) providing some scoring relief. Despite losing Gordon Greenidge, West Indies steadied their innings to 57/2 on the back of quick scoring by Viv Richards. Richards played one too many aggressive shots when he skied a pull shot from Madan Lal that Dev caught at deep square leg after running backwards for over 20 yards. The catch is attributed as the turning point in the 1983 WC Final and is regarded as one of the finest in ODI Cricket. West Indies collapsed from 50/1 to 76/6 and finally were bowled out for 140 with Dev picking up the wicket of Andy Roberts.[32] The win was India's maiden World Cup[33] and he led with 303 runs (Average: 60.6), 12 wickets (Average: 20.41) and 7 catches in 8 matches. Post-World Cup After the World Cup, India hosted the West Indies cricket team and lost the Test series 3–0 and the ODI Series 5–0. Dev achieved his best test bowling performance in a loss at Motera Stadium, Ahmedabad with a return of 9/83.[34] His bowling performance in the test and ODI series was let down by his poor batting performance. The selectors ended Dev's reign by reappointing Gavaskar as captain in early 1984. Difficult captaincy Dev was reappointed captain in March 1985, and guided India on a Test series win over England in 1986. This period saw one of his most famous matches, the second Tied Test, in which he was named joint-man of the match with Australian batsman Dean Jones. He was retained as captain for the 1987 Cricket World Cup. In their first match, Australia scored 268 against India. However, after the close of innings, Dev agreed with the umpires that the score should be increased to 270 as one boundary during the innings had been mistakenly signalled as a four and not a six. In their reply, India scored 269 falling short of Australia's score by one run. In the Wisden Cricketer's Almanack, it was reported that "Kapil Dev's sportsmanship proved the deciding factor in a close-run match".[35] India went on to reach the semi-final of the 1987 World Cup, where they lost to England. Dev faced the blame for India's defeat as he holed out to deep mid-wicket triggering a collapse that led to the unexpected loss. He did not captain India again, although he was the Vice-captain for India's tour to Pakistan in 1989. The captaincy period was on the whole a difficult one for him as it was mired with reports of differences with Gavaskar, as well as his own inconsistent form as a bowler. However, both men later insisted that these reports were exaggerated.[36] Dev's performance as Captain was better than as a player. Bowling style Dev was a fast bowler. However, a fluent run-up and a gather that was perfectly side-on at the time of delivery meant that the outswinger came naturally to him. Usually bowled at a length and direction that always troubled right-handers, his delivery was the bane of most of his victims as he sought to beat the bat on the outside edge, either caught on the off-side cordon or indeed LBW and bowled in case the ball missed the edge. The side-on action meant that, for the first few years, this was the only delivery he could bowl. The deliveries that held their lines or came into the right-hander came through natural variations off the pitch. However, as he gained maturity, the action became less side-on and he developed an inswinger too. He noted in the mid-1980s that the only delivery he could not bowl at will was the leg-cutter. By the end of 1983, Dev already had about 250 Test wickets in just five years and looked well on his way to becoming one of the most prolific wicket-takers ever. However, his bowling declined following knee surgery in 1984, as he lost some of his jump at the crease. Despite this setback, he never missed playing a single test or one-day game on fitness grounds. Though he lost some of his bite, he remained an effective bowler for another ten years and became the second bowler ever to take 400 wickets in Test cricket in 1991–92 when he took Mark Taylor's wicket in a series versus Australia in Australia. In that Australian tour he took 25 wickets. Final years Dev continued as India's lead pace bowler under a succession of captains in the early 1990s. He was involved in a notable incident during the Lord's Test Match of 1990, when he hit off-spinner Eddie Hemmings for four sixes in succession to take India past the follow-on target.[37] This match featured the highest test score by an Englishman against India,[38] 333 by Graham Gooch. Dev was cited by umpire Dickie Bird as being one of the greatest all-rounders of all-time.[39] He became a valuable batsman in the ODI version of the game, as a pinch-hitter used to accelerate the run-scoring rate, usually in the final ten overs, and was relied upon to stabilise the innings in the event of a collapse. He played in the 1992 Cricket World Cup, his last, under the captaincy of Mohammad Azharuddin. He led the bowling attack with younger talents like Javagal Srinath and Manoj Prabhakar, who would eventually succeed him as India's leading pace bowlers. He retired in 1994, after breaking Richard Hadlee's then standing record for the most Test wickets taken. Skills Dev was a right-arm pace bowler noted for his graceful action and potent outswinger, and was India's main strike bowler for most of his career. He developed a fine inswinging yorker during the 1980s, which he used very effectively against tail-enders. As a batsman, he was a natural striker of the ball who could hook and drive effectively. A naturally aggressive player, he often helped India in difficult situations by taking the attack to the opposition. Nicknamed The Haryana Hurricane, he represented the Haryana cricket team in domestic cricket.[40] Post retirement National coach Main article: Kapil Dev as Indian National Cricket Coach Kapil Dev was appointed coach of the Indian national cricket team in 1999, succeeding Anshuman Gaekwad.[41] In his term, India won just one test match (at home against New Zealand) and had two major series losses in Australia (3–0) and at home against South Africa (2–0) and in general was considered a disappointment.[42] At the height of the match fixing allegation by Manoj Prabhakar[43] – a charge that was dismissed later,[44] Dev resigned from his position as national coach. Stung by the betting controversy, he announced his farewell stating that "I bid adieu to the game that gave me so much and then took a great deal of it away on the mere hearsay of a third party".[45] After a brief interval, he was succeeded as coach by former New Zealand batsman John Wright, who became India's first foreign coach. Return After a period of silence away from the public eye, Dev returned to cricket when Wisden announced him as one of the sixteen finalists for the Wisden Indian Cricketer of the Century award in July 2002. Dev pipped longtime teammate Gavaskar and crowd favourite Tendulkar to win the award and claimed the moment as "my finest hour".[2] Dev slowly returned to cricket as a bowling consultant[46] and was the bowling coach in the preparatory camp prior to India's tour of Pakistan in March 2004.[47] In October 2006, Dev was nominated as the chairman of National Cricket Academy for a 2-year period.[48] In 2005, he acted in a brief role in the Cult Movie Iqbal written by Vipul K Rawal where he played himself. Initially the director was not keen on approaching him; however, writer Vipul K Rawal put his foot down as the role was written with him in mind. In May 2007, Dev joined the upstart Indian Cricket League (ICL) floated by Zee TV as the chairman of executive board, defending his decision as complimenting BCCI's structure rather than opposing it – "We are not looking to create a rival team but helping the Indian board to find more talent".[49] In June 2007, BCCI responded by revoking the pension for all players who had joined ICL, including Dev.[50] On 21 August 2007, Dev was removed from the chairmanship of the National Cricket Academy, a day after he addressed a formal press conference of the new Indian Cricket League.[citation needed] On 25 July 2012 Dev resigned from ICL and continued to support BCCI, thereby paving way to get back into the BCCI fold.[51] Joining Territorial Army On 24 September 2008 Dev joined the Indian Territorial Army and was commissioned as a Lieutenant Colonel by General Deepak Kapoor, Chief of the Army Staff. He joined as an honorary officer.[52][53][54] Personal life He married Romi Bhatia in 1980 and had a daughter, Amiya Dev, on 16 January 1996.[55] In 1994, Dev took up golf.[56] Dev was the only Asian founding member of Laureus Foundation in 2000. Ian Botham and Viv Richards were the other two cricketers on the founding member council of 40. Steve Waugh was added to the Academy members in 2006 when it was expanded from 40 to 42. He has written three autobiographical works. By God's Decree came out in 1985 and Cricket My Style in 1987. He released his most recent autobiography, titled Straight from the Heart in 2004.[57] He pledged his organs during an event organized by Delhi Urological Society on January 31, 2014 at the Airport Authority of India, Officers Club, New Delhi.[58][59][60] Dev made cameo appearances in the films Dillagi... Yeh Dillagi, Iqbal, Chain Khuli ki Main Khuli and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi.[61] Business interests Dev invested in various business, including: 5% stake in Zicom Electronics (2005)[62] Captain's Eleven (2006) restaurants in Chandigarh[63] and Patna[64] Kaptain's Retreat Hotel (1983; renovated and reopened in 2002)[65] in Chandigarh Dev Musco Lighting Pvt Limited in partnership with Musco Lighting to install floodlights in sports venues in India.[66] Floodlight projects include PCA Stadium, GCA Stadium, Brabourne Stadium, Barabati Stadium, Sector 16 Stadium.[67] SAMCO Ventures,[68] holding company for SAMCO Securities in 2015.
