Top 10 run scorers for India in World Cup history

#7 Kapil Dev

India’s greatest all-rounder played some of his best cricket at the World Cups. Dev, the inspirational captain led India to their maiden World Cup title in 1983 courtesy his stellar all-round showing with both bat and ball. Kapil’s 175-run epic knock against Zimbabwe, the first ever World Cup ton by an Indian cricketer is considered as an all-time classic. The hard-hitting all-rounder played many match winning cameos in 1983, 1987 and 1992 World Cups to win for India.
