Kapil Dev was great whilst Sachin Tendulkar is great.No two individuals can be compared as all are unique in their own way.Both have contributed immensely to Indian Cricket.But i consider that if one person was responsible the most for bringing respectability to Indian cricket it was Kapil Dev.His advent and exploits on cricket field made Indians to beleive that they can win.Earlier most of the time playing and drawing a match was seen as a mark of achievement.His success inspired many youngsters to take to fast bowling as a career.Before him spinners used to open mostly for India though there were people like Madan Lal and Abid Ali but they didnt get to play all matches.Now the scenario is that good fast bowlers are waiting for their turn and we have many top class bowlers to choose from.No need to mention that under his captaincy we got the world cup.Yes Sachin in his generation has been a role model for many Indians but when i compare the contributions the scale for me tilts in favour of Kapil Dev.Sorry sachin fans not my fault i watched the careers of both.Happy mylotting.
