Every cricketer wants to perform brilliantly at the world level while playing for the national team of his country. Today we are going to tell you about the only cricketer in the world who has scored 4000 runs in Test cricket and has taken 400 wickets.
The player who accomplished this feat is none other than former India great all-rounder Kapil Dev. India won the World Cup under the captaincy of Kapil Dev. It has been many decades since Kapil Dev retired from cricket. Let us tell you that Kapil Dev is still the only cricketer in the world to take 4000 runs and 400 wickets in Tests. Kapil Dev played his international debut match against Pakistan in October 1978.
Kapil Dev played 131 test matches and scored 5248 runs in his long cricket career of 16 years. During this, he also took 434 wickets in Tests. Kapil Dev was counted among the best all-rounders in the world. In the time of Kapil Dev, there were great players like Richard Hadlee, and Imran Khan. But still, Kapil Dev maintained his dominance.
When the Indian team went to take part in the England World Cup in the 1983 ODI World Cup, no one thought that Team India would return as a champion. Team India won this match by defeating West Indies in the final and also registered its name in the record books. After Kapil Dev, 28 years under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Indian team won the World Cup title for the second time at his home.
