[@NishitShukla]

Not many people know that Kapil was the 1st man to take not only 200 but also 250 wickets in ODIs. From 1988 to 1994, he was the world's leading wicket taker in ODIs, ahead of Botham, Imran, Hadlee, Marshall etc. Kapil is the only captain to take 9 wickets in an innings. Only man to claim 400 wickets and score 5000 runs, also only man to claim 400 wickets and 4000 runs in Tests. (Though Sobers is said to be the greatest all rounder, he managed only 235 wickets in 93 tests at a horrible strike rate of 87 and a very poor avg of 34, Sobers has no 10 wicket hauls and only 6 five wicket hauls. If you think Kallis was the best, then he has only 292 wickets in a whopping 166 tests at a very poor strike rate of 69 and a poor avg of 32, also he has no 10 wicket hauls and only 5 five wicket hauls) World record 184 innings without getting run out. He is the 1st man to hit 4 consecutive 6s in tests. (Now equalled by Afridi and De Villiers but not broken). He is still in the list of top 11 wicket takers in tests. Strike rate of 94 in tests, higher than Richards and Sehwag, 95 in ODI, higher than Richards. Still youngest to 100 wickets and 1000 runs, 200 wickets and 2000 runs, 300 wickets and 3000 runs. He is still the youngest man to take 300 Test wickets. He is still the youngest captain to win a World Cup. At the time of his retirement, he was the world's leading wicket taker in tests, and remained so for six years, until Walsh broke it in 2000. Scored 500 runs and took 50 wickets in the same year twice (Pollock and Botham have also achieved this feat) Has been holding the world record for the fastest 50 at Lord's in a Test Match off just 35 balls for 40 years now. (1982) INDIA Records: Fastest century by an Indian in Tests in 74 balls. (Later equalled by Azhar but not broken). 2nd Fastest 50 by an Indian in tests in 30 balls. (Pant now fastest in 29 balls, record broken by just one ball) 2nd fastest to reach 100 wickets in 25 tests (Bumrah is now fastest in 24 tests, record broken by just one test) Second fastest 50 by an Indian in ODI in 22 balls (Fastest by Agarkar in 21 balls, record broken by just one ball) First Indian player to score an ODI century First Indian bowler to take 5 wickets in ODIs He is the 1st Indian to complete his maiden test century with a six. (Harbhajan is the only other Indian to do so) (Myth: Kapil never bowled a no ball: This is wrong, he did bowl no balls. In this video, Kapil himself says that he had bowled no balls. kzbin.info/www/bejne/haXSnZuropKrsKM)

[@sundarg99]

One small but very important detail was left out in the information box. India needed 70 odd runs to avoid innings defeat, and were 25 for 5 when Kapil paji walked in. Soon it became 31 for 6. Kapil's 129 helped India post a respectable lead of 150 runs for SA to get in the 4th inning. India lost, but it was at least a graceful defeat instead of being all out under 70.

He was ahead of his time for batting. Look at some of the drives and pulls against high-quality bowling on a testing pitch. In this innings, his first 50 came in 95 deliverables.

Kapil paji is a legend. Palmolive da jawab nahi!

[@NishitShukla]

Not many people know that Kapil was the 1st man to take not only 200 but also 250 wickets in ODIs. From 1988 to 1994, he was the world's leading wicket taker in ODIs, ahead of Botham, Imran, Hadlee, Marshall etc. Kapil is the only captain to take 9 wickets in an innings. Only man to claim 400 wickets and score 5000 runs, also only man to claim 400 wickets and 4000 runs in Tests. (Though Sobers is said to be the greatest all rounder, he managed only 235 wickets in 93 tests at a horrible strike rate of 87 and a very poor avg of 34, Sobers has no 10 wicket hauls and only 6 five wicket hauls. If you think Kallis was the best, then he has only 292 wickets in a whopping 166 tests at a very poor strike rate of 69 and a poor avg of 32, also he has no 10 wicket hauls and only 5 five wicket hauls) World record 184 innings without getting run out. He is the 1st man to hit 4 consecutive 6s in tests. (Now equalled by Afridi and De Villiers but not broken). He is still in the list of top 11 wicket takers in tests. Strike rate of 94 in tests, higher than Richards and Sehwag, 95 in ODI, higher than Richards. Still youngest to 100 wickets and 1000 runs, 200 wickets and 2000 runs, 300 wickets and 3000 runs. He is still the youngest man to take 300 Test wickets. He is still the youngest captain to win a World Cup. At the time of his retirement, he was the world's leading wicket taker in tests, and remained so for six years, until Walsh broke it in 2000. Scored 500 runs and took 50 wickets in the same year twice (Pollock and Botham have also achieved this feat) Has been holding the world record for the fastest 50 at Lord's in a Test Match off just 35 balls for 40 years now. (1982) INDIA Records: Fastest century by an Indian in Tests in 74 balls. (Later equalled by Azhar but not broken). 2nd Fastest 50 by an Indian in tests in 30 balls. (Pant now fastest in 29 balls, record broken by just one ball) 2nd fastest to reach 100 wickets in 25 tests (Bumrah is now fastest in 24 tests, record broken by just one test) Second fastest 50 by an Indian in ODI in 22 balls (Fastest by Agarkar in 21 balls, record broken by just one ball) First Indian player to score an ODI century First Indian bowler to take 5 wickets in ODIs He is the 1st Indian to complete his maiden test century with a six. (Harbhajan is the only other Indian to do so) (Myth: Kapil never bowled a no ball: This is wrong, he did bowl no balls. In this video, Kapil himself says that he had bowled no balls. kzbin.info/www/bejne/haXSnZuropKrsKM)

[@gopalankannan6791]

He also holds the record of fastest test fifty at Lords 50 of 35 balls, this is still a record till date

[@NishitShukla]

@@gopalankannan6791 Lord's is the most iconic ground, and this is a world record no doubt but I have only included general World and India records, this one is venue specific. It will look a little out of place if I include this. What is your suggestion, should I include this as well?

[@avinashsalunke8184]

I thank you very much you gave very very important information most of those records are unknown by many Indians .THANK YOU.

Kapildevji is a LEGEND. A gentle stern HERO..No can can match him in character, sportsmanship, discipline, ethics, spirit and what not. If there is anything more than Bharat Ratna, he is the only one to deserve. His seriousness is contagious to serious people. The same guy who made 5 out of 65 and someone in the commentary box who loves more dot balls makes the irony for this situation. Yet RS has also displayed aggressive innings many a times. Need to appreciate. But could have avoided such slow batting, at least 1 run in 3 balls could have changed the game away....Kapilji proved on so many occasions...175 not out in 1983, four sixes to avoid follow on with one wicket remaining, this 129, and many more...He is undeniably THE LEGEND...GENTLEMAN OF SPORTS...INDIA WILL NEVER GET A MAN LIKE HIM...WHAT AN ALL ROUNDER....! BLESSED...Will the govt wake up to Honour this LEGEND OF ALL TIMES? SOME OF YOU FAMOUS IN TWITTER, PL INITIATE A SPECIAL CELEBRATION FOR KAPILJI. IT'S LIKE HONOURING INDIA....

[@vilakkattulife295]

Who can forget that 4 sixes to save followon against England. I agree that he did not do full justice to his talent as a batsman.

[@k.s.mukhopadhyay8504]

No bro Kapil Dev was after all a human man, throughout his career he was the only worthwhile fast bowler in the Indian side. He had to managed 2 departments and he did a fabulous job in one and a damn good one in the other, balling and batting respectively. Imran Khan had Akram, Younis & Sarfaraz, Gary Sobers had Wes Hall, Griffith, Gilchrist; Kallis had Steyn, Pollock, Ntini. Kapil Dev had no one he was a one man army.

[@atmarampanda9575]

सही, भूलने लायक नहीं है

[@NishantKamal21]

Kapil dev was real champion winning important matches. No one can take his place.

[@warpebhushan]

Preferably this is best test innings batting at no 7 for India in tests. Kapil paaji played a blinder in this 1992 ka second innings with 129 runs. Team scored 215 only in second innings. Top 6 Indian batsmen got out in single digits. India lost this test. First loss for India in South Africa ever in 1992. Saw it live

[@Fkyt142]

The best bowling all rounder in history of cricket.

[@abbass2716]

Kapil Dev is the king of Indian cricket.

[@gouravarora8736]

The sound from the bat when he hits the ball is amazing. This shows how good a timer of the cricket ball he was. The real"LEGEND".

[@Vardu_19]

Sir kapil maine aapko live khelte nahi dekha, par yakinan aap is khel ke maharathi hain. God bless

[@saibalbhowmick9805]

I am a great fan of Sourav Ganguly but unurguably it's Kapil Dev's 1983 that changed the whole scenario of Indian cricket - from then onwards we started to believe that " yes " we also can .

[@VVS167]

Awesome memories of LISTENING to the radio commentary of this innings on AIR💕

[@prahladnatchu]

Definitely the Real hero of Indian cricket who saved india from embarrassing positions to victory love you sir Kapil dev with lots of respect

[@kanoresantosh1137]

Kapil sir notably greatest fighter and always have positive mindset, greatest allrounder of all time for me

[@weorkay]

"When Kapil flexes his muscles and produces a broad smile,that means trouble; trouble to the opponents". That was not my caption. I recalled from The Sports Star of the late Eighties. As a batsman, he was a killer. He had low back lift, number one in late cut, his hooks and lofts were perfect. His flash over point return the ball to the turf after hitting the boundary wall. His scoring rate was always high. A match winner. Personally, he was a good man

[@NavaneethSagarMusic]

Dhoni of that era kapil ji

[@AshrafKhan-lf6kq]

He is pride of world cricket🏏

[@cheriyanshibu4767]

What a, powerful hitter was kapil dev. Wish he was playing today's t20. With today's training, powerful bats and short boundaries. He would have murdered every bowler.

[@giribabusaggurthi862]

Kapil what a great innings from a legend
