The biggest fight of Indian cricket, when Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev clashed, did not talk to each other for 25 years

Cricket News Desk. While the friendship of many players on the cricket field is well known, the enmity of many players is also well known. Amidst the rivalry stories, fans love the stories of the country's two all-time great players. This fight was between Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev. Actually, Gavaskar's bat was completely silent in the 1983 World Cup. His failure can be gauged from the fact that he could score only 64 runs in six innings during the World Cup. He was a complete flop in the first two matches of the tournament. But the trouble started when Team India was on the verge of elimination after losing the last two out of the first four matches.

In this difficult situation a team meeting was held. Meanwhile, Kapil Dev rudely said to Sunil Gavaskar, Sunny Bhai, now we have to score runs. Gavaskar got angry with Kapil's answer. It is believed that the rift between the two players started from here. The next match of the Indian team was against the very strong team of that time, West Indies. Gavaskar was missing in this match and Team India suffered a big loss. Not only this, the team's experienced player Dilip Vengsarkar has also been injured. After which Gavaskar was again included in the team in the next match.

This matter came to light in 1984 when Kapil Dev and Sandeep Patil were dropped from the third Test against England. Meanwhile, the command of the team was in the hands of Gavaskar. Kapil's exit was very difficult for the fans to digest and the fans reached Kolkata carrying the banner of No Kapil No Test. However, meanwhile Gavaskar always kept saying that he has not shown Kapil the way out of the team. This was the initiative of the selectors.

The Indian team was successful in winning the Kolkata Test, but there was a rift between the two greatest players of the country. The situation became such that both the players stopped even talking to each other. This rift lasted for about 25 years. But every dispute has an end and an agreement was reached between these two giants. A grand party was organized on the completion of 25 years of the World Cup 1983. During this time, after the initiative of many seniors, talks started again between the two players.
