RE:Kapil missed Golden Chance in 1987 Reliance Cup !!!
by Bald Head on Jun 04, 2008 10:49 AM

You only see or remember that Kapil lost his cool in 1987 semifinal against England in Mumbai.

But you are either not aware or do not remember the ugly politics by certain vested interests those days which first removed Kapil and brought in Sunny as captain (after the glorious 1983 WC win) and then went out of the way to ensure India's defeat to dethrone Kapil as captain again after 1987 WC.

If India would have won the 1987 WC, it would have been difficult for these behind the scene politikers to accomplish what they intended to. The victim was not just Kapil, but Team India and its numerous innocent fans.
