Kapil Dev, the iconic Indian cricketer and 1983 World Cup-winning captain, shared insights about his post-retirement passion for golf and its potential benefits for cricketers. In his column for The Indian Express, he lamented that Indian cricketers did not embrace golf during their playing days, unlike legends Gary Sobers and Don Bradman. Kapil believes that had he played golf while active, he could have added at least 2,000 runs to his career total of 9,031 runs, which would elevate his position on the all-time run-scorers list. This would have placed him ahead of players like Gautam Gambhir and KL Rahul, and made him the first cricketer with over 11,000 runs and 600 wickets in international cricket, a feat currently held by Shakib Al Hasan. Kapil's cricket career spanned from 1978 to 1994, during which he became renowned as one of the greatest pace-bowling all-rounders.
