1) How can anybody forget Kapil Dev giving simplest of the catch to mid wicket to Gatting in the bowling of Hemmings in 1987 world cup semifinal against England at Wankhede , Mumbai ? when need of hour was to stay at the wicket & guide india to victory.
2) How can any body forget the inexplicable shot played by Kapil in test match against England in 1984 series ; we lost that test match & gave England chance to level the series . Kapil got axed in the next match as a punishment. I admit that there was dirty politics in axing Kapil. But you can not deny the fact that the shots played by him & Sandip patil were horrible.
3)How can any body forget the treatment meted out to Manoj Prabhakar during our England tour in 1986. When there was a need for 3rd seamer, Majoj inspite of being in 16 squad was left out & Madan lal who not in the squad was asked to play?
4) How can any body forget that Javagal Srinath ( one of the very few cricketers who played unselfishly for India ) missed his prime years of cricket as Kapil continued his out of form career just for breaking Haddle,s record?
5) How can any body forget how Kapil ruined the career of Raju Kulkarni ?
I again repeat Kapil is the greatest all rounder India has ever produced. But there are some hard facts going against Kapil which only immature can ignore.
