Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, (India)
Sunil Gavaskar (L), Kapil Dev (R)
India lost a Test to England in Delhi and skipper Sunil Gavaskar had a go at star all-rounder Kapil Dev after he got out playing a rash shot, saying that the ‘Haryana Hurricane’ would never be able to make even a half-century if he continued in this manner. Kapil was dropped for the next Test as a disciplinary measure, and though Gavaskar claimed that the remark and the action were meant to bring out the best in Kapil, these legends were never on the same page again. When Kapil led on the 1985 Sri Lanka tour, Gavaskar refused to open, much against Kapil’s wishes.
