He is in my view India's best all time talent ignored by others. He was a natural cricketer, great fielder, as batsman saved India so many times. The second best natural talent is Yuvraj, the third being Sachin. Would you admit?

I completely agree with your views on Kapil,though i have my reservations on Yuvi.There are many natural talents who had played for India in the past ,some were success and some couldn't translate that talent into something big either due to temperament or indiscipline.
Kapil Dev is without doubt the best cricketer India has ever had. Winning a world cup as uderdogs,that too, against the then best ODI side WI, on foreign soil is something remarkable. It is a greater victory than India's 2011 ODI victory on home soil. Even today he is such a humble,nice man with no airs,so much different from the current Delhi brat.

KAPIL DEV was famous for his anger on field but not abusive anger like VIRAT both belong to PUNJAB but generation gap is the only reason for abusive behaviour of VIRAT as KAPIL DEV first century was after abusement from pak player
Kapil Dev is the man who changed the whole equation in the world of cricket and brought respect and money for India/Asia. Till his entry the Indian team was a minnow especially in 1 day cricket. He is a role model for the modern INdian cricket players.
