Kapil Dev

Kapil Dev was India's first great fast bowler and a hard-hitting lower-order batter, the only player with 400 Test wickets and 5,000 Test runs. His 175 not out against Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells, from 17 for 5, rescued the 1983 World Cup campaign that he then captained to victory. He bowled on unhelpful Indian pitches for years, which makes the wickets more impressive.
