00:00Watching Kapil Dev bat in his prime feels like uncovering a piece of pure cricketing

00:05gold from a forgotten trier chest.

00:08The great all-rounder belonged to an era when aggression was rare and most passmen preferred

00:14to play it safe.

00:15But Kapil Dev was different, fearless, instinctive and always ready to take the game to the ballers.

00:23One such vintage champ came on October 16, 1989 at Sharjah.

00:28In the fourth match against the mighty West Indies side, Kapil Dev scored a brisk 41 runs

00:33of just 50 balls, hammering two boundaries and a towering six.

00:37He took on legends like Malcolm Marshall, Kirtley Ambrose, Courtney Walsh and Winston Benjamin.

00:43The ballers feared for their sheer pace and hostility.

00:46Slight breeze today.

00:48It's a lovely shot out to deep mid wicket.

00:53Carlisle best.

00:57You saw what Sunil was talking about, the quick movement between the wickets.

01:07In spite of the fielder coming in very quickly, they took 135 for five.

01:17That's a lovely shot.

01:34Four runs, the deep mid wicket, and they've got to do this now.

01:43141, and so far the most expensive one.

01:53It's going to be four runs, and a wide, India.

02:03Half stopped by Haynes, substituting for Richards.

02:17Kapil gets three.

02:26That would have been trouble, but perhaps...

02:36That's lofted from outside the off stump.

02:40It's taken first bounce by Simon at deep backwards square leg.

02:45Very peculiar shot.

02:55Richardson at mid wicket.

02:56Kapil on to 20.

03:07That struck well.

03:09Good bit of work by Robert Haynes, the 12th man.

03:15Only one.

03:16Kapil is 21.

03:17India 175 for seven.

03:22Benjamin now into Kapil.

03:24Full toss, and Kapil has hammered it over extra cover.

03:27That's going to be four runs.

03:28No, the ball slows down enough for Walsh to run in from long off to stop it,

03:33and the batsman now settled for the mark.

03:46That's a lovely shot.

03:47That's six.

03:51Beautifully picked up that full toss from Marshall, and swung over deep and wide mid wicket for six.

04:00Kapil connects, and this one flies over to square third man Miss Field at the third man boundary.

04:17And that's four more.

04:21195 now for eight.

04:23Richardson cannot stop that hard hit shot.

04:33Takes him hard on the hand.

04:34The batsman pick up two.

04:36And the 200 is up.

04:46Bold him.

04:50Kapil doing some fancy leg work.

04:54Refusing to be still till the delivery was bold.

04:59Found his stump shattered by a Yorker from the Richards after he had won the toss.

05:06Have made 211 for nine in their allotted 50 overs.

05:11Kapil Dev with the highest score, 41 runs of 50 balls, including two fours and one six.

05:16Followed closely by Shrikant, 40 runs of 56 balls.

05:19Jimmy Amarnath scoring at 29 and Azruddin.

05:22Kapil Dev was a masterclass in controlled aggression.

05:26He smacked a delightful four of Vive Richards, gentle off-spinballing, earning a loud cheer from the crowd.

05:33The very next ball, Vive Richards, a ball of wide delivery.

05:37A small yet telling sign of the pressure Kapil exerted, even on one of the greatest critters of all time.

05:44Facing the fiery West Indies attack, Kapil Dev stood tall, unshaken and unbothered.

05:49His fluent stroke play and attacking mindset gave India crucial momentum, setting up a competitive

05:56total that ultimately proved enough to topple the dominant West Indies side.

06:02It was not just an innings, it was a statement, a reminder that Kapil Dev, with his bat and courage,

06:08could turn any contest into a battle worth remembering.
