How good was Kapil Dev as a bowler? 😍

भारत जैसे देश में जहाँ गेंदबाजी का मतलब स्पिन गेंदबाजी हुआ करता था, कपिल के आने से पहले तेज गेंदबाजों की भूमिका गेंद को पुराना करके स्पिन गेंदबाजों को गेंद थमाने तक सीमित थी उस देश में कपिल जैसे मध्यम तेज गति के स्विंग गेंदबाज का आना किसी वरदान से कम नहीं था। ++

During his first 25 test matches he took 100 wickets and no more than 3-4 times, the opening duo of opposite team scored hundred run partnership. The list of achievement goes on & on. Kapil No one like him, Not before not after.

126 against WI in 102 deg fever 110 against Aus in tie test in 102-3 fever 5/28 against Aus having ruptured thigh muscle 89 in 55 bowls & 97 in 93 bowls against England at Oval 1982 72 in 38 bowls against mighty WI at berbis oneday 4 sixes in 4 bowls Then fastest fifty 50/33

Fantastic bowler carried the Indian seam attack before they started to produce world class quick bowlers. He shouldered an enormous burden. Plus he could bat & may have got more runs if he didn’t have to bowl so much -& captain! Maybe the most natural allrounder other than Sobers

One of the greatest

Specialist in out swing

One of the greatest bowler ever !

With 434 Test wickets mostly on Flat pitches..i would say..he was average..

Bowling ka to pata nahi pr fixer ek no ka tha !!!

@swapnilll03

not very impressive (in today's context), but yes, he managed to get 400+ wickets with this.. so hats off
