No doubt that SUNIL GAVASKAR IS SUNNY(SUN SHINE)OF INDIAN BATTING ,But Kapil Dev is and will always be known as a Bowler who created a panic and broght our nation name to A NATION WHO HAS QUALITY GENUINE FAST BOWLER .KAPIL TE SUNNY DA JAWAB NAHI
What I remember the most as a kid was the joy of listening to Gavaskar, Viswanath, Engineer and others bat and Bedi, Prasanna and Chandrasekar bowl and most wonderful moments when Solkar catches from close range.
Sunil Gavaskar in whatever frame people want to remember, he delivered great joy in battling with some of the greatest players from around the world, and made people notice the Indian team. The first and foremost accomplishment of the team with these great cricketers was to start being in the game for 5 days. They set benchmarks for the next generation of cricketers who continue to better the performances.

In India who say he played only for records, that India seldom won many matches off his bat, that he was a dull cricketer, one who knew how to take care of himself, and so on and so forth. This one match, and one innings shows that while he did most of the hard work in nearly every match where he scored well, the rest of the team, with a few exceptions, could not do the little that was needed or expected of them.
I remember this match, my cousin and I were sitting and listening to the ball-by-ball commentary, and as the score kept climbing, and India came inching towards an improbable victory, our hands were literally quivering, such was the tension. There was a fear, that if SMG gets out, India will be in trouble. (There are still more as-holes, in the several millions, who hold the same opinion of Sachin Tendulkar)
To those who are talking about India Shining, and a more confident, assertive new India, you cannot imagine the hopes, the expectations of hundreds of millions of Indians, who could never visualise a really bright future for themselves or for India. Sunil Gavaskar came to symbolise the yearnings of a nation that desparately lacked in self-esteem and authentic heroes. If you look back, you will find the Kapil Devs, the Srikkanths, Ravi Shastri, Vengsarkar, found their place in the sun, after Gavaskar had opened up the pathway. There were others like Abid Ali, Roger Binny, who played their own small roles in the rise of Indian cricket.
I remember having listened to the radio commentary on a summer evening in Kolkata with rapt attention. It was a shock to see Kapil Dev, who had not played more than 10 tests at that time who had been playing outside the subcontinent for the first time, being sent in at that crucial hour of the match. I still believe that India missed a victory in that match due to Venkat's faulty captaincy.
However, that of course does not cast shadow on Sunil's historic innings on that day! What an innings it was!
rediff, how do you exhilarate the scoring?? I have heard of accelerate the scoring, but this phrase is new to me!! well done! Good education for youngsters who happen to read this. keep it up!!

Oxford dictinoary says that the meaning of "exhilarate" is "to make merry or to cheer or enliven". Please use appropriate words next time.
