Vijay.Sharma Posted July 31, 2011 Author Posted July 31, 2011 Watch at around 25:05 about the Peter Kirsten incident and Kepler Wessels hitting Kapil. Just listen to what Kapil is saying....man, any doubt why he wasn't my hero? :hail::hail::hail:
Vijay.Sharma Posted July 31, 2011 Author Posted July 31, 2011 At around 36:15 they are discussing an all time India XI and Kapsy sez "Bhajji would be there and Bhajji is far better than Prasanna...there is no doubt about it. I was talking to Tiger Pataudi" I just paused there to send this post...going back to watch the rest.
Crookbond Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 The Ranji Trophy match was a classic. Vengsarkar left the field in tears. 2 runs was the final victory margin for Haryana. It was the one medal Kapil didn't have in his closet.
Lurker Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 What a terrific man and player. I don't think I have ever seen a legend so humble and one who talks about everyone so glowingly. Within this interview he has applauded everyone from Vengsarkar, Miandad, Imran, Sachin, Gavaskar etc etc. I wish Shekhar Gupta was not interrupting him so much though. It is depressing to see how current cricketing lot rarely mention Kapil, or for that matter Sunny or anyone else in their interviews really. Kapil is probably victim of BCCI and their bias thanks to ICL but would be nice every now and then to hear about the modern day cricketers talk about their boyhood heroes for sure. Great interview, thanks for sharing
