The Celebration of 75 years of Indian Test cricket Without Kapil Dev

India is going to celebrate the 75 years of Indian Test cricket in Kochi on October 2. In the Celebration all former captain will be invited in the ceremony. Awards have been given to some of the outstanding performers of the year the last few years. But I am disappointed to see that here is no word about Kapil Dev who was the captain of India team at the time of World Cup Championship at 1983.

And some of the captains who shaped and steered Indian cricket will be honoured at the function at the Le Meridian hotel here on Tuesday night, a few hours after the India-Australia one-dayer at the Nehru Stadium. Among the current cricketers, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag will also be feted at the ceremony. This year, the outstanding performance award will be presented to Dhoni’s team.

The Castrol awards have been given to some of the outstanding performers of the year the last few years but this time, the main theme will be the celebration of 75 years of Indian Test cricket.

Kapil Dev was the captain from 1982-83. Kapil was kept hold of as India's captain for the 1987 Cricket World Cup. I am not sure why we can not see his name on the lists.
