India faced Zimbabwe before reaching the semi-finals against England. This is a must-win encounter for India to be qualified for Semi-finals. After winning the toss, India elected to bat first in Royal Tunbridge Wells. Zimbabwe bowlers Peter Rawson, Kevin Curran produced a fierce spell that destroyed the Indian top-order Sunil Gavaskar, Kris Srikanth, Mohinder Amarnath, Sandip Patil, and Yashpal Sharma.
It was 9/4 when Kapil Dev came out to bat. Rodger Binny not able to stand tall and India was at stage 17/5. When the hopes of all Indians are fading, the Indian captain played a brilliant knock against the strong Zimbabwe bowling attack. Kapil Dev scored 175 runs off 138 balls consisting of 16 fours and 6 sixes.
How can someone pull the innings from 17/5 to 266/8? It was considered one of the best knocks in Cricket.
* It was the first ODI hundred by Indian in World Cup and highest score in ICC World Cup back then.
* Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar described Kapil Dev knock as the best innings he seen in ODI. He said it was cold and the ball was moving, everyone thought we all out for 70 or 80. It's good to see Kapil Dev didn't play a lofted drive since he scored 80 runs.
Soon after the innings, Kapil Dev bowled a beautiful spell of 32-1 and restricted Zimbabwe for 235.
Back then, this match was not telecasted. Only the crowd in the match were lucky to watch this.
