Best XI from the ODI World Cup winning Indian squads

Kapil Dev (Captain)

Here comes the leader of the pack and the best all-rounder Indian cricket has ever produced, the legendary Kapil Dev. He was the captain of the side which won the maiden trophy the pinnacle event in the ODI cricket. The swashbuckling batsman was the architect of the triumph as his unbeaten 175-run knock had saved India from being humiliated by Zimbabwe. If not for his innings, India would have been knocked out of the World Cup and the Indian cricket would have never ignited like it did after winning.

He inspired the team by his consistent performances with both bat and ball during the tournament. With the bat, he amassed 303 runs at an average of 60.60 to go with the strike rate of 108.99. He also wrecked havoc with the ball in the opposition camp by picking 12 wickets at an average of 20.41. He was also brilliant in the field and held on to seven catches, one of them was of Clive Lloyd which he took by stunningly running behind and sealed the final for his team.
