Kapil's contribution to Indian cricket was far beyond numbers. In his time, he was influential in India competing with the best in 50-over cricket and it was his hunger to win and succeed that rubbed off onto the others in the 1983 World Cup, where many would say he played the knock that turned the tournament around for India- 175 against Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells.
