India's 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev said playing golf can "100%" help a cricketer. "Had I played golf when playing cricket, I would have scored another 2,000 runs minimum," he said, adding, "It improves focus, coordination and timing." Kapil Dev, who played 131 Tests and 225 ODIs, scored a total of 9,031 runs and picked up 687 wickets.
