Kapil grabs the catch (or the WC ??)

Kapil Dev can be easily termed as the most important India cricketing personality ever ! A lavish batsman, an outstanding bowler, and a very active fielder. But apart from just the core traits of cricket, he had the traits of a true leader ! He captained India to a historic win in England against the mighty West Indies, when people thought that the fact that India had reached that far in 1983 was in itself an achievement for us.

Here's an article by Sambit Bal (Editor of Cricinfo and Cricinfo Magazine), which captures the moment very avidly... An article worth reading for every Indian who loves cricket...
