10 Kapil Dev quotes that teach us a life lesson

Standing at mid-wicket, he chased the cherry, running towards it. Viv Richards’ top edge could have landed at no man’s land but Kapil Dev glided on, head turned over his right shoulder and ended up grabbing one of the most spectacular catch ever.

Right from the start of his career, he was a type of cricketer Indian cricket had never seen and to the date hasn’t found someone who could match his talent and performance standards. Kapil was a guy who could bowl as good as the best pacers in the country and could also batted as well as anybody. An all-rounder in all sense Kapil also proved to be a great captain and if Indian cricket has this humongous fanbase and crazy following has a lot to do with the revolutionizing win he and his team scripted at the Lord’s in 1983.

He is the only player to have registered a double of 400 wickets and 5000 plus runs in Test cricket. The World Cup winning former Indian captain is certainly one of the best all-rounders of all time. Let’s take a look at some of his inspiring Kapil Dev quotes over the years.
