NEW DELHI: Kapil Dev's iconic unbeaten 175 not out against Zimbabwe in the 1983 World Cup is one of the most legendary innings in limited-overs cricket history. But while Kapil was blazing away on the field, a lot was happening in the Indian dressing room as well.
On June 18, 1983, India were in deep trouble at 17 for 5 when Kapil walked in to bat. With an incredible display of aggressive batting, he single-handedly turned the game around, scoring 175 runs off 138 balls, which included 16 fours and 6 sixes.
