  1. Who received the Wisden Award for the ‘Indian Cricketer of the 20th Century’ ?
    1. Sachin Tendulkar
    2. Kapil Dev
    3. Sunil Gavaskar
    4. Anil Kumble
Correct Option: B

Kapil Dev was the greatest pace bowler India has produced, and their greatest fast-bowling all-rounder. If he had played at any other time - not when Imran Khan, Ian Botham and Richard Hadlee were
contemporaries - he would surely have been recognised as the best all-rounder in the world. In any case he did enough to be voted India’s Cricketer of the Century during 2002, ahead of Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar. His greatest feats were to lead India almost jauntily, and by his all-round example, to the 1983 World Cup, and to take the world-record aggregate of Test wickets from Hadlee.
