Kapil Dev Nikhanj, born on January 6, 1959, is a former Indian cricketer known as one of the greatest all-rounders in cricket history. He was a fast-medium bowler and a powerful middle-order batsman.
When he led the Indian cricket team to victory in the 1983 Cricket World Cup, he made history as the youngest captain to win a World Cup at the age of 24. Having taken 200 wickets in ODI cricket, Dev retired in 1994 with the record for most wickets in Test cricket.
He was named Wisden’s Indian Cricketer of the Century in 2002, and among other accolades, he received the Padma Shri in 1982 and the Padma Bhushan in 1991. In addition to being inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2010, Dev received the C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013.

Kapil Dev was not as fond of bikes as some cricketers seem to be. He loves cars; that is why he purchased a Porsche Panamera, Jeep Compass, Mercedes-Benz GLS, and Nissan Leaf. You may have never seen him with a lot of bikes; however, he was awarded a Bullet bike for his match-winning performance in 1981 and he shows love to the Bullet Company, which gifted him.
