He was always India's original Mr. Cool captain, rather than Dhoni - Gavaskar hailed the legend.

Who is the best cool captain in Indian cricket team. Fun speech with sunil gavaskar 

It is not an exaggeration to say that the team led by Kapil Dev won the World Cup in England in 1983 and laid the deep seed for cricket to become the number one sport watched and celebrated by the most fans in India today. No one can forget Kapil Dev's single-handed 175* victory in the match against Zimbabwe, who led the Indian team players who played like Kathucutti in that series with the confidence that we too can achieve it.

In that spirit, after losing once each to strong teams Australia and West Indies in the league round, India won the other match with the necessary victories to defeat England at home in the semi-final round to reach the final. In the grand final that followed at Lord's in London, India batted first and scored just 183 runs against a frenetic West Indies led by Clive Lloyd, who had won successive World Cups in 1975 and 1979.

Mr. Cool Captain:

Expected to score those low runs with ease, Kapil Dev's catch at long-on when West Indies great Viv Richards scored a blistering 33 (28) was the turning point. Using it, India bowled brilliantly and bowled out the West Indies for just 140 runs to win the title and create history that made the entire Indian people look back.

And Kapil Dev, who got that victory which inspired many young players like Sachin to play for the country, still holds the world record of being the captain who won the World Cup at the youngest age. Sunil Gavaskar praised Kapil Dev as India's original Mr. Cool captain who defeated a quality team like West Indies at such a young age and acted as an all-rounder to win the World Cup.

Especially MS Dhoni has won 3 different World Cups but he spoke about Kapil Dev who was the pioneer of all of them in a recent interview as follows. “It goes without saying that Kapil was outstanding in batting and bowling in that series. Especially his catch of Viv Richards in the final that no one will ever forget. He is versatile enough to be captain in any kind of environment to be amazing.”

“And when a player misses a catch or misses a field it keeps a smile on his face. That shows him as the original Mr. Cool Captain. In that way, it is very difficult to describe in words how we won that World Cup.

However, the joy at that time was enough to pose for a toothpaste advertisement. Because even looking back at that moment when all the Indian players had smiles on their faces is heart touching."

It is another testament to his quality that till date India has not had a great fast bowling all rounder like Kapil Dev who shone as a great captain in that regard.

Finally Mr Sunil gavaskar speech always cool captain is mr Kapil Dev better than mr dhoni.
