Question : 45 [SSC CGL 2002]

Who received the Wisden Award for the ‘Indian Cricketer of the 20th Century’ ?

a) Sunil Gavaskar

b) Kapil Dev

c) Anil Kumble

d) Sachin Tendulkar

Answer: (b)

Kapil Dev was the greatest pace bowler India has produced and their greatest fast-bowling all-rounder. If he had played at any other time - not when Imran Khan, Ian Botham and Richard Hadlee were contemporaries - he would surely have been recognised as the best all-rounder in the world.

In any case, he did enough to be voted India’s Cricketer of the Century during 2002, ahead of Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar.

His greatest feats were to lead India almost jauntily, and by his all-around example, to the 1983 World Cup, and to take the world-record aggregate of Test wickets from Hadlee.
