WATCH: Dreams do come true, eras collide as Kapil Dev throws surprise bouncer to MS Dhoni at Eden Gardens.
Saturday, November 11, 2017 IST
Kolkata: To compare different players from different eras has always been difficult and are part of endless arguments.
From Sunil Gavaskar's centuries to that of Sachin Tendulkar, from Viv Richards batting explosives to that of Virender Sehwag, with Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee's pace being compared to that of West Indian great bowling quartet - Joel Garner, Michael Holding, Colin Croft and Sir Andy Roberts, there are many comparisons which are just imagined but cannot happen in the present to settle arguments.
However, one such comparative narration did happen in the present. Hero and the captain of 1983 World Cup Kapil Dev was up against the best finisher and two World Cup winner (ODIs and T20Is) MS Dhoni. India’s two World Cup winning skippers, Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni, on Thursday, gave the cricket fans a moment to cheer for a lifetime as the two took on each other on the pitch. With a bunch of kids around them, while shooting for a commercial at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, which was arranged by another former India captain Sourav Ganguly – who took India to 2003 World Cup final, Kapil not only bowled to Dhoni, but also surprised him with a bouncer! TRENDING: MSD's hair-stylist friend Sapna Moti Bhavnani reveals interesting story behind his viral dance video Dhoni, the skipper of World Cup 2011 team, batted first and played some dashing strokes. The former skipper was also seen inspecting the Eden Gardens pitch for a while. After some time, Kapil – the skipper of 1983 World Cup winning team, occupied the batting crease while Dhoni did some bowling.
