On This Day In 1983, Kapil Dev Smashed 175* Against Zimbabwe
On this day in 1983, legendary Indian all-rounder Kapil Dev put on a historic performance by playing a magnificent knock of 175* runs against Zimbabwe in a must-win 1983 World Cup. It was one of the most prolific knocks of Kapil Dev, however, there is no footage of that game available as BBC covered other matches in the list of fixtures, considering India's past performance in the World Cup. Team India was headed to the match against Zimbabwe after defeating West Indies in their first match, ending their eight-year-long unbeaten run in the cricketing marquee event. Momentum was on their side.
