Show me one player who can play like this in alien conditions. He was something else and only kapil dev can play an innings like this. Salute to this great person.
God given natural ability. No showmanship nor over the top celebrations. Humble to the bone. India’s original superstar cricketer.
Indian cricket is there because of Kapil dev. Because 1983 Kapil was the man who believe India can win the world cup. That special knock of 175 changed the whole thinking. What a great cricketer. Well done sir 👍.
100%
Kapil Dev is unarguably the greatest cricketer ever produced by India...
Kapil Dev is the only Indian cricketer who genuinely deserves Bharat Ratna... perfect match winner....played always for his team...never went for records..
Lol , he literally over stayed his welcome for breaking Richard hadlee’s record . Doesn’t matter , still the greatest cricketer produced by india after sachin Tendulkar in my opinion. No one plays for records ., they come along
@@allinone-crickettravelfun2900 Go to dogs, you fool
Absolutely right...Led the Indian team to victory for the first time ever in 1983 Prudential cup, was part of and played a major role in 1985 Benson and Hedges world cup, led or part of the team in another world cup if 1989 ? Name i don't remember ...Etc ...Once upon a time he was the topmost wicket taker in both test and one day cricket ... I still remember the day he overtook Hadlee by taking his 374 th wicket..(.From memory only)...A true match winner who never played ever for making personal achievements...The only cricketer who really deserved Bharath Ratna....Fully agree with your opinion sir....👍🙏
Indian cricket history begins with pautodi not with flat track hero tendulkar.
That’s why he won the World Cup
Kapildev is a batsman who play test cricket and One day in the same way. Always attacking. Good runner between the wickets. His height and well built physique helped him to play hook shot with ease. His innings were always an entertainer to spectators.
One of the finest counterattacking innings by Kapil Dev . Greatest Indian cricketer ever
Yes, above gavaskar and Sachin.
Yes I agree 💯% he will always remain as India's greatest cricketer ever...🤣😂😅
The Natraj of cricket Kapil Dev 🙏👏👏
The moment i saw this comment I could see the Narthanam of Kapildev with his willow.
One small but very important detail was left out in the information box. India needed 70 odd runs to avoid innings defeat, and were 25 for 5 when Kapil paji walked in. Soon it became 31 for 6. Kapil's 129 helped India post a respectable lead of 150 runs for SA to get in the 4th inning. India lost, but it was at least a graceful defeat instead of being all out under 70.
Add to his extraordinary batting , Kapil came back to bowl a lionhearted spell of fast bowling though without luck. There will never be another Kapil Dev
Yes, very true
Yes.Kapil is a super all rounder.
Great Kapil Sir. A pride of Asian Cricket. Respect from 🇵🇰
Asian team had grt bowler like waseem, waqur, muralidharan, vaas, kapil, z.khan etc Asian pride.
Imran Khan also great player for Asian Country
Imagine two of the greatest all rounders of that time Kapil & Imran would have played together, unbeatable combi
Thank u bro we also like some pakistan players like zaheer abbas,wasim akram etc
@@prasadjoshi1985
Thanks brother
He was a Gift to the world cricket. Gavaskar once said, You may get another Tendulkar in a century... perhaps. Another Kapil... not likely. Players like him come once.
Hope Gavaskar had same sentiments during his playing days also
Thats an example for Single handed innings , Kapil Sir Respect for you is immense , those shots and the sounds of Ball knocking bats , so melodious to hear . long live Kapil Sir :)
for a long time there was only Kapil and Sunny who could be considered world class in the Indian test team
175* against Zimbabwe... Every cricket fan would regret coz inspite of being considered best ever odi knocks we can't see. Any video of the same online
Amazing sound of shots
Many of this age may not have heard much about Kapil Dev. He was a phenomenon, probably the best all-rounder of his age. A relentless fighter and winner
.. an?
???!!!???
Greatest cricketer India had produced.
Kapil Dev should be awarded Bharat Ratna.
❤️❤️
You are absolutely correct.
Don't worry. That's already sold to one selfish cricketer who played only for his records.
He (Kapil Dev)deserves that honour above any other. And he is a true Bharat Ratna for all the Indians.
Agreed...
IndianCricket is what it is today because of that 1983 World Cup win. That changed the face of cricket as more and more players came on board. One team made it possible and one man was the captain that inspired the team… none other than the brilliant all rounder Kapil Dev. Top notch fitness levels, brilliant bowling, excellent fielding, and great batting…
Arguably the greatest cricketer India ever saw, amazing batting, bowling, fielding skills no one could can match till date, hats off Sir, grew up seeing him
Brother, why arguably? HE is the greatest Indian cricketer. Sunil Gavaskar has repeatedly said this. He is the real hero 👍
Plus Amazing leadership....
India were 31 for 6 when in walked Kapil Dev. We had heard of that once before. India were 15 for 5 when in walked Kapil Dev.
@@sni3407 He is the inspiration who gave us the belief that we can do it. Saurav continued and then we got Dhoni and even Kohli was good as the skipper, except for the 2 losses against Pakistan.
Might be, but he had several failures between successes too. The problem with cricketers of that era was that they were very inconsistent and Kapil Dev was no exception.
One of the best century by KAPIL DEV after 175 not out against Zimbabwe....unfortunately it was his last century in international career
He could bat like any classy batsman. Once Gavasker said, had Kapil focused on his batting more, he would have scored around 3000 more than he did in his test career. The notable thing is, Kapil had scored more than 5000 runs in tests. And at that time scoring more than 8000 runs was a dream for any world class batsman.
Even 5000 was a dream for frontline batsmen, people like Amarnath have 4000 odd runs, Vengsarkar and Vishwanath some 6000 runs.
Absolutely right.mr.kapil Dev played by heart for the country and for his herculean 175 in 1983, we won the world cup and started roaring in the world cricket..
very true
Some people are meant for setting examples... not just records...
Not many people know that Kapil was the
1st man to take not only 200 but also 250 wickets in ODIs. From 1988 to 1994, he was the world's leading wicket taker in ODIs, ahead of Botham, Imran, Hadlee, Marshall etc.
Kapil is the only captain to take 9 wickets in an innings.
Only man to claim 400 wickets and score 5000 runs, also only man to claim 400 wickets and 4000 runs in Tests.
(Though Sobers is said to be the greatest all rounder, he managed only 235 wickets in 93 tests at a horrible strike rate of 87 and a very poor avg of 34, Sobers has no 10 wicket hauls and only 6 five wicket hauls.
If you think Kallis was the best, then he has only 292 wickets in a whopping 166 tests at a very poor strike rate of 69 and a poor avg of 32, also he has no 10 wicket hauls and only 5 five wicket hauls)
World record 184 innings without getting run out.
He is the 1st man to hit 4 consecutive 6s in tests. (Now equalled by Afridi and De Villiers but not broken).
He is still in the list of top 11 wicket takers in tests.
Strike rate of 94 in tests, higher than Richards and Sehwag, 95 in ODI, higher than Richards.
Still youngest to 100 wickets and 1000 runs, 200 wickets and 2000 runs, 300 wickets and 3000 runs.
He is still the youngest man to take 300 Test wickets.
He is still the youngest captain to win a World Cup.
At the time of his retirement, he was the world's leading wicket taker in tests, and remained so for six years, until Walsh broke it in 2000.
Scored 500 runs and took 50 wickets in the same year twice (Pollock and Botham have also achieved this feat)
Has been holding the world record for the fastest 50 at Lord's in a Test Match off just 35 balls for 40 years now. (1982)
INDIA Records:
Fastest century by an Indian in Tests in 74 balls. (Later equalled by Azhar but not broken).
2nd Fastest 50 by an Indian in tests in 30 balls. (Pant now fastest in 29 balls, record broken by just one ball)
2nd fastest to reach 100 wickets in 25 tests (Bumrah is now fastest in 24 tests, record broken by just one test)
Second fastest 50 by an Indian in ODI in 22 balls (Fastest by Agarkar in 21 balls, record broken by just one ball)
First Indian player to score an ODI century
First Indian bowler to take 5 wickets in ODIs
He is the 1st Indian to complete his maiden test century with a six. (Harbhajan is the only other Indian to do so)
(Myth: Kapil never bowled a no ball: This is wrong, he did bowl no balls.
In this video, Kapil himself says that he had bowled no balls. czcams.com/video/Otolhum-xzA/video.html)
The most fluent innings of Kapil Dev and the coolest ever looked when playing on the up or the cover drive👏👏 This is the Kapil Dev who inspired the whole country - unflinching, no neeves and committed.
Living legend of India cricket.
There's nobody to replace him in the Indian team.
This innings of Kapil finds a place in top 100 innings of all time in test cricket...
True! And I never knew about this knock!
He always fought well on bouncy tracks & this innings is one of the great knocks in Test cricket history considering the situation.
Who can forget his 175* in 1983 World cup??
The fact that we have not found a replacement still 30 years after his retirement, speaks volumes of his contribution.
True
Very true
This legend can never be replaced
Hardik Pandya is more than the replacement for Kapil paji.
Prime Kapil Paji was clueless in late 1980s & early 1990s when Pakistan was riding on India in ODIs & Tests
@@soundar4270 Hardik opens the bowling for India? That's interesting.
What Sunil Gavaskar said about Kapil, Another Gavaskar can be produced by India but can't be second Kapil Dev.It is 100% true Yet we haven't produced another Kapil Dev What a classic bowler and batsman ! He was.
As a kid, I remember getting excited when Kapil came to bat !! He was perhaps the first aggressive player in Indian cricket team !!
The first aggressive player to bat for India was S. Mushtaq Ali. Remember his century in 1936 when India was lagging by more than 360 runs.
@@ajayshah1950 Yeah , we are talking of contemporary times... Who knew cricket in 1936 except British or few maharajas... The modern version of International cricket began after the World Cup was launched in 1975.
What did S. Mushtaq Ali achieved then in that match?
@@ehanuman9022 Sar Tan se Juda as usual.
@@sadashivrao6445 LOL 🙂
Kapil sir. Legend .. hats off the way he batted against South African pace battery of 90's with such an ease... 👍👍
Kapil Dev. The greatest all rounder and fighter the cricketing world has ever seen.
Jis allrounder ne world Cup jeet ke diya 434 wicket liya 1000 run banaya world Cup me first 175 bananre wala kapil Dev Vo dekh ke Bhi kisi school college university company society ya sarkar ne 7/8 Saal ke bache ko train kiya hota to aj dusra kapil Dev mil Gaya hota
Never forget this innings of Kapil. During this match, I was in my native, Eengoor, of Eerode district & hearing the commentary in Radio of Ceylon station. Great knock by a great all time, all rounder...
Good morning radio pay look
The best all rounder India has ever had. We need someone like him today.
More than India, the best all-rounder the game has ever had, period.
He is once in a century player… we found replacements for Gavaskar and Tendulkar but not one for Kapil Dev.
But we do have one....Mr overrated Pandya SMH....
Hardik hai na hamare pass.
@@leemafashion6628 venkatesh ayar ho sakta he , pandya har dusre match me injured hota he
Amazing inning Kapil Dev had played. He was very fit player. we can't find any alrounder like Kapil Dev again. Today's players specially get unfit so quickly.
Marvelous Inning. Once again proved why he is Great Kapil Dev.
Really what an innings.His NEVER SAY DIE attitude reflected in this innings.No slaughtering just pure timing and all round shot ability of him is clearly visible.Salute Kapil Sir.Tussi jio hazaro saal.
Probably his best century, against a world-class SA attack, in foreign conditions.
The match was already lost at this stage. He just threw his bat and it came off. And by the way, he did nothing in the series in crucial moments, neither with bat or ball. Also in wc 92 he flopped, as india finished 8th!
@@IITianProudIndian Kapil was past his best. His final great series was in Australia 1991-1992 where he took 25 wickets. I am only talking about this particular knock, not his performance in the rest of the series with bat and ball.
This century at hi end of his career , scoring 129 vs South African mighty bowling attack including Alan Donald . Look at his hooks and drives that shows only one all rounder in Indian cricket who can bat and bowl seamlessly . No one can match him.. of course cricket is a team game why only Kapil is criticised for his consistency . He lead World Cup victory as a team and batted 175 is match winning innings ..
@@jkrishnaraj People these days don't appreciate the genius of ex-cricketers. Kapil Dev will always be the greatest Indian all-rounder ever and one of the greatest ever in world cricket. Ordinary boys came and went, including a couple in the present setup. But none can match Kapil Dev. If India manages to find a bowling all-rounder like him, India will be lucky.
@@IITianProudIndian not to forget 1983 WC victory please.
My childhood hero, He made India proud and cricket the most papular.
Praji -- my childhood hero, the greatest Indian cricketer!
Devv was A legend . Genuine allrounder...
Kapil Dev the greatest allrounder ever played cricket
Great KapilDev. You gave numerous moments to the spectators to relish. True sportsman.
Thanks for the long waited upload! Allan Donald at his peak 145-150 KMPH- Kapil treats him like a club bowler🙏🙏🙏
Not 145-150 probably 148-155kph. He's called White lightning for a reason. He also has deadly slower balls, yorkers, in swingers.. absolutely deadly...and you're so true that Kapil treated him like a club bowler
He was hitting Donald as if Donald is a gali bowler
Looks that way in the highlights, if you watch the full match ball by ball, Donald was seriously scary
Kapil showed how to play under pressure.But none followed his footstep until Yuvaraj came. He was the real successor of Kapil. 🙏🙏🙏
One of the finest innings during his last phase of cricketing career.
That unusual pull of his hips was a run producing machine, scoring from good length balls too. This is similar to how Dhoni played the helicopter shot.
He was ahead of his time for batting. Look at some of the drives and pulls against high-quality bowling on a testing pitch. In this innings, his first 50 came in 95 deliverables. Obviously, he had to curb his natural instinct as India was struggling and then started the onslaught. Had he followed this mode for his other innings, he could have easily scored 7000+ runs in Test. I think India didn't have a good batting coach during that time, who could help Kapil improve his batting temperament or a little bit on defensive technique.
India did not have any of the resources the other test playing nations had, including Pakistan. Think about what a team Pakistan had in those days, you could not get them all out twice in a match! Kapil shone despite that!
Nobody could change the complexion of the game like Kapil and for thar matter Botham too
Kapil was great talent.Rarely got out due to bowlers ability .mostly Kapil brought his dismissal himself.
Remarkably a great allrounder never before never after and still nobody replaced his place in Indian cricket team.
What a knock under pressure.
When the going gets tough, tough gets going. That suits well for Kapil. Most of his centuries came when we were folding or in dire situations.
MY REAL SUPERMAN SINCE MY CHILDHOOD AND 1 OF D GREATEST ALLROUNDER I EVER SEEN AND STILL BELIEVE HE IS NO 1 TILL NOW, LOVE U SIR
Real hero and Great player of the world
Very nice person 🌹💐🇮🇳🇮🇳
KAPIL DA KA JAWAAB NAHI 👍🇮🇳
Pamolive da jawab nahi Kapila ad
Such a treat to watch the artistic touch of the body- footwork, shoulders, hands, and wrists, the use of the bat like a pen in the act of calligraphy. Watched this piece so many times, always with great appreciation and respect for this magnificent all rounder....
Thanks sir for keen observation.
Ranking of top 5 100s by an Indian - VVS Laxman - 281 - against the best bowling attack at that point in time, pivotal knock that turned around Indian Cricket; Virender Sehwag - 309 - liberated Indian psyche, the mental block; Sunil Gavaskar - 236 not out - against the best bowling attack, till date; Rahul Dravid - 233 AND, one of the 3 hundreds by Kapil Dev, 129 against SA, 100 in the tied test against Australia, 100 against WI in Chennai - the fact that Kapil played these great knocks speaks volumes about his greatness, statistics can never capture his greatness!!!!
Well said
Sehwag 195 vs aus
Kapil's 176 against literally knock out match of WC in 1983 against Zimbabwe one of the best ODI knock.
@@sirajchandratalukdar9629 only test 100s;
What about Sachin's hundred in Perth in 1992 that saved follow on.?
What about about Sachin's 169 runs that saved match against south Africa
One of the greatest test match innings ever played. Counterattack at its best.
D
look at Ravi Shastri... 5 from 65 balls. even if thats a test match... and this man is giving lectures on the betterment of Indian cricket

the only natural cricketer India has produced .
his effortless batting , his smoothest approach to the wicket and delivering the ball were a treat to watch .
The Great All-rounder's Master Stroke . What A Splendid Innings .
Kapil Dev is a great player! A real hero! Rarely failed to perform in foreign pitches!
Best all rounder Great. Innings. Superb century. Against Africa the best attack
Who can forget that 4 sixes to save followon against England. I agree that he did not do full justice to his talent as a batsman.
No bro Kapil Dev was after all a human man, throughout his career he was the only worthwhile fast bowler in the Indian side. He had to managed 2 departments and he did a fabulous job in one and a damn good one in the other, balling and batting respectively. Imran Khan had Akram, Younis & Sarfaraz, Gary Sobers had Wes Hall, Griffith, Gilchrist; Kallis had Steyn, Pollock, Ntini. Kapil Dev had no one he was a one man army.
सही, भूलने लायक नहीं है
Who inspired another legend like god of cricketer great sachin tendulkar n millions of Indians to play n represent cricket like great kapil dev 🙏hatt's of to u sir 😊🙏
My all time favorite,Kapil and Gavaskar,they started the belief.hats off to them❤
Iam watching Kapil's batting right from his debute this is also one of the best salvaging innings:
But the way he got out at the end was like a beginner he did not move towards the ball
Kade Kade koshis Kiya out ogeya
We love you very much Kapil!
Whenever you play; played for the Nation put 200% effort that too alone taking support from tail enders
May the good God give you long live Kapil.
Look at his bat sound ,,,with hard wood bat,,,,🎉against bowling friendly condition,,,, amazing ❤❤❤.cricketers of that era was really cricketers like kapel dav,,, Imran Khan,,Gavasker,,,javaid minadad,,,,viv Richards,,,Botham,,, Richard Hadly,,Waseem Akram,,,Waqar,,Tandolker and many others 🎉🎉🎉
Kapil dev was real champion winning important matches. No one can take his place.
I have never seen any Indian player has such of courage in entire history of the GAME other than Kapil & DHONI ❤❤❤
Not even Sachin nor kohli
Always inspirational, a timeless legend who will command respect for generations to come🇮🇳🙏
Durban was a dangerous pitch during those days and Allan Donald was on fire.
One of the greatest Test Knocks by an Indian.....
The number of times kapil Dev has gotten us out of trouble is mind boggling! In fact he was the one who instilled confidence in players and led from the front when it came to fitness. From then on the captaincy never failed saurav till dhoni and virat now! हर हर महादेव जय श्री राम वंदे मातरम जय हिंद जान भी है जहां भी है क्यूंकि मेरा भारत महान है नमो नमो 🔱🕉️🥚🙏🏻💪🇮🇳💪🇮🇳💪

How confidentiality Kapil dev played Allen donald.clean hitter & fighter cricketer
कपिल देव हमारे देश के एक ऐसे खिलाड़ी थे, जो हमेशा देश के लिए खेले, और अपने खेल को हमेशा देश के लिए समर्पित करते थे। आज के खिलाड़ियों में यह भावना कम हुई हैं।
He made me watch cricket. He was the goat.
He is pride of world cricket🏏
What a talent.. true sportsman.. paaji is greatest ever
Legend has it that on the flight to Port Elizabeth (before the test) one of the SA passengers came up to Kapil Dev and gave him a small note book. Kapil asked him "What for?". The passenger replied "You can take notes from the South Africans on how to play cricket". This spurred Kapil to play this fantastic knock. I do not know how far it is true, but i had read it in a magazine nearly 30 years ago.
Kapil dev is one of the best all rounder ever produced in the world cricket.
One of the finest all rounders in cricket world and we have grown up listening his stories
His shots are hammers....
Undoubtedly a player for the country of the country and by the country
Wonder why he iss not given Sir title. Nevertheless wisdon cricketer of the century award was given to him.
Salute to u. Kapil Dev. I grew bowling like him and batting like him imitating him
🏆AHEAD OF HIS TIME 👏
Imagine if he was playing 40 years later in T20 and IPL, he would be incomparable.
Kapildevji is a LEGEND. A gentle stern HERO..No can can match him in character, sportsmanship, discipline, ethics, spirit and what not. If there is anything more than Bharat Ratna, he is the only one to deserve. His seriousness is contagious to serious people. The same guy who made 5 out of 65 and someone in the commentary box who loves more dot balls makes the irony for this situation. Yet RS has also displayed aggressive innings many a times. Need to appreciate. But could have avoided such slow batting, at least 1 run in 3 balls could have changed the game away....Kapilji proved on so many occasions...175 not out in 1983, four sixes to avoid follow on with one wicket remaining, this 129, and many more...He is undeniably THE LEGEND...GENTLEMAN OF SPORTS...INDIA WILL NEVER GET A MAN LIKE HIM...WHAT AN ALL ROUNDER....! BLESSED...Will the govt wake up to Honour this LEGEND OF ALL TIMES? SOME OF YOU FAMOUS IN TWITTER, PL INITIATE A SPECIAL CELEBRATION FOR KAPILJI. IT'S LIKE HONOURING INDIA....
The sweetest sound of cricket is a batsman hitting the ball by sweet part of his bat. Thack ❤🔥
Very fortunate to follow Kapil paaji right from his debut in Faislabad way back in 1978. Salute to you Kapil sir for stunning catch you took in 1983 wc final.
Greatest Sir Dearest Kapil Dev
Is icon of lndia cricket.
Salute sir.
Father of INDIAN Cricket...Kapil Dev
1992. Man those was a decade in India. I was 9 years old then, in class 3, enjoying a calm and tranquil life in Delhi. Those were indeed the best years of my life.
Kapil Dev was great inspiration for young sters after Winning 83 wc ...infact the greatest inspiration..people started loving cricket on another level ..greatest all rounder India ever produced..
Kapil Dev..the moment he walked in to bat everything will change. The first batsman India ever produced who always attacked the bowling. The best ever cricketer India has produced so far.
He seems a true gentleman too. Down to earth. That is almost impossible to find in today's sports world. Maybe MS Dhoni is close but that's about it.
Definitely the Real hero of Indian cricket who saved india from embarrassing positions to victory love you sir Kapil dev with lots of respect
COMMENTATOR: Kapil Dev has "singlehandedly" taken India to a comparatively respectable total.
KAPIL DEV: How did the commentator figure out I was indeed batting with a fractured hand ?
The sound from the bat when he hits the ball is amazing. This shows how good a timer of the cricket ball he was. The real"LEGEND".
I haven't seen one single cricketer as talented and as courageous as kapildev may be I could name dhoni in the ranks of kapildev ! But no other cricketer comes to my mind ! Records nothing to do with winning a game, but kapil & dhoni won many matches for india.
This innings is wonderful but what kapil played against Zimbabwe in 83 world cup of 175 not out will bi written in history of cricket in great golden innings of the cricket world . .Great love and respect for kapil paaji .✌
Kapil Dev was such a natural on the cricket field. A born cricketer and a true legend!!
Kapil Dev god of Indian cricket
Real Hero of Indian cricket, A thorough gentleman. Hats of to him.
Preferably this is best test innings batting at no 7 for India in tests. Kapil paaji played a blinder in this 1992 ka second innings with 129 runs. Team scored 215 only in second innings. Top 6 Indian batsmen got out in single digits. India lost this test. First loss for India in South Africa ever in 1992. Saw it live
Kapil sir notably greatest fighter and always have positive mindset, greatest allrounder of all time for me
Kapil Dev is the king of Indian cricket.
Sheer talents like him cannot be manufactured through coaching.
They have to be born.
Another gem of an innings from the great Kapil. Thanks for the video.

For many of us (64years plus) who grew up following Indian cricket our team wasn't in top 5 and Pakistan was above us.But the Indian team had some players who were truly world-class and their exploits made us happy. Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev,Mohd Azharuddin, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Virender sehwag were some who put fear in opponent eyes. I exclude post 2008 to current players.They are the jewels of Indian cricket. If I had to choose one who made most impact for Indian cricket it has to be Kapil Dev.
