Ex-India captain Sunil Gavaskar said that 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev would've been sold for ₹25 crore in the IPL auction if he was playing. Talking about Kapil's unbeaten knock of 175 runs in the 1983 World Cup match against Zimbabwe, Gavaskar said, "It is the greatest knock in ODI history I've seen as a player, as a commentator."
