yeah thats an all time great innings. The kind of innings that go down as classic. India should have won this unbelievable chase. Afterall how do you fail after being 2/360 or so while chasing 438? Kapil Dev was promoted up the batting order and he failed. This was one of the little bits that drove the wedge between him and Kapil. Still a fantastic innings.
