By IANS News June 18, 2021 • 20:20 PM View: 2551

Exactly 38 years ago, legendary Kapil Dev slammed an unbeaten 175 against Zimbabwe in the 1983 World Cup to keep India in the hunt for a place in the semi-finals, after the top order batsmen had failed.

Kapil hit a then world-record 175 off just 138 deliveries, embellished with 16 boundaries and six sixes to guide India to 266/8 wickets in the allotted 60 overs, after his team was reduced to 9/4. India had lost Sunil Gavaskar, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, Mohinder Amarnath, and Sandeep Patil.
