Kapil Dev's contribution to Indian cricket goes much beyond leading India to their first World Cup title in 1983. It might be the crowning glory of his career; but one of the greatest all-rounders and arguably the first Indian fast bowler who could win matches on his own, Kapil delivered many more memorable performances to lead his team to some famous wins.
One such moment came during India's 1980-81 tour of Australia, which went down in history books as the first instance of an Indian team drawing a Test series Down Under. It wouldn't have been possible unless an injured Kapil, with his thigh strapped heavily, bowled that brave spell of 5 for 28.
