Gundappa Viswanath became my childhood idol after listening to radio commentary: Kapil Dev
Kapil Dev said he considered Gundappa Viswanath as his childhood idol and used to listen to radio commentary about the batting great's exploits even before witnessing him ply his trade with his own eyes. "Gundappa Viswanath was my childhood cricket idol and his image was projected by the commentary I heard on the radio. It was several years before I saw him bat with my own eyes," Kapil said while launching the autobiography of Hindi sports commentator, Late Jasdev Singh, titled "On The Wings of Radio Waves – A Broadcaster's Journey".
