Kapil’s Catch Changed it all

“It was a fairy tale victory for the Indians, ranked outsiders and beating the ever mighty West Indies”

Viv Richards bat was smoking all over the park, out swinger or inn swinger no matter what fast bowler were bowling he was toiling with Indian bowling attack. Even the 70 yard Lords was not enough to hold the legendary batsmen who in no time rushed to 33 of 27 balls. It seems he was in hurry to place his hand on the converted trophy for the third time. But once brilliance changed it all.

Relive the defining moment

Madan lal bowled a shot pitch delivery to Viv. A Delivery on any other day can be easily hooked for six in any part of the park but to Indian fortunes he miscued it. The ball took the upper edge of the bat and flew to square of deep fine leg. Kapil was fielding at square short leg he ran 30 yard to the boundary and with ease took the catch. He made it so simple as if it was a regulation catch.

“Time stopped in complete disbelief; the King had fallen. Some observers swore that Kapil smiled as he prepared for the plummeting cricket ball of history.”

With Vivian Richards West Indies batting crumbled and they were all out for 140. Giving India the best ever Cricketing moment.
