Captain: 1983 World Cup Champions (1982–1984)Kapil Dev debuted as India's captain in the 1982–83 season against Sri Lanka (before the Pakistan tour) when Gavaskar was rested. His first assignment as regular captain was the tour of West Indies, where the biggest accomplishment was a lone ODI victory. Kapil (72) and Gavaskar (90) led India to a huge score – 282/5 in 47 overs and Kapil's 2 wickets aided India to restrict West Indies for 255 and a victory[23] that Indian cricketers claim gave them the confidence to face the West Indies team in 1983 Cricket World Cup.[24] Overall, Kapil Dev had a good series in West Indies as he scored a century to save the second test match[25] as well as picking up 17 wickets (Average: 24.94).
[edit] 1983 World Cup PerformanceKapil entered the World Cup with an ordinary individual record – 32 Matches, 608 Runs (Average: 21), 34 wickets. India's solitary victory in the previous two World Cups was against East Africa in 1975. Riding on Yashpal Sharma (89 Runs), Roger Binny and Ravi Shastri (3 wickets each), India inflicted the West Indies' first-ever defeat in the World Cup.[26] Following a victory against Zimbabwe, India lost the next two matches – Australia (despite Kapil Dev's best career figures of 5/43)[27] and West Indies. India now needed victories against Australia and Zimbabwe to advance to semi-finals.

BCCI has extreme arrogance now and they are rubbing other countries the wrong way. someday the wheel will come down, they have to think of that day too. going up on merit is one thing, but abusing your position is another. BCCI thinks they own ALL of cricket in India.
Re: kapil - His tremendous knowledge of fast bowling

he meant swing bowling i am sure, Dilip Vengsarkar's knowledge of playing 'fast' bowling is equally good and could serve ned of the hour.
