One of cricket's greatest all-rounders who led the Indian team to a historic World Cup triumph in 1983 and spearheaded the country's pace attack for over 15 years, Kapil Dev Ramlal Nikhanj was born in Chandigarh on January 6, 1959.
A right-arm pace bowler, Kapil made his debut for Haryana at the age of 16, taking six wickets and helping his team to victory against Punjab. In the 1976-77 season, his eight-wicket haul helped Haryana beat Jammu & Kashmir. Then in the pre-quarterfinals, he claimed 7/20 in 9 overs against Bengal in the second innings. After India's disastrous tour of Pakistan in the 1982-83 season, Kapil replaced Sunil Gavaskar as the Indian captain. Kapil led India in the 1983 World Cup in England.
