Kapil Dev was the captain of the Indian cricket team that won the 1983 World Cup in England.
“I’ve played many do-or-die matches in my career. Won some. Lost some. But, this one is the most dangerous of all, the match against Coronavirus. We thought we were winning the first innings against Coronavirus, but it came back with a vengeance in the second innings. No matter how dangerous the opposition is, we’ve got to be prepared and safe to win the match. Get ready to defeat Corona,” the former India cricketer concluded.
Earlier this week, Dev broke down while remembering former India middle-order batsman Yashpal Sharma who passed away on Tuesday morning after suffering a massive cardiac arrest.
