Cricket Tales: In the modern era of Indian cricket, Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar stand out as two of the game's most iconic figures. Gavaskar, known for his classical batting technique, was the epitome of a pure batsman, while Kapil Dev, a genuine fast bowler who evolved into a world-class all-rounder, brought a new dimension to Indian cricket.

Look through any list of infamous player feuds, and you’re unlikely to find a mention of a Kapil-Gavaskar conflict. Yet, a clash did exist—one that involved no abuse, no physical altercation, and no official reprimands. It was a silent rivalry, simmering beneath the surface for years.
