Kapil Dev
Kapil Dev, also known as the Haryana Hurricane, was born 6th January, 1959 in Chandigarh. Kapil Dev played his first competitive game of cricket at the age of 13. In Chandigarh he used to be a regular spectator to watch the inter-sector matches. One Sunday the Sector 16 team fell one player short and Kapil who had gone to watch the match was taken in as a replacement. The sector 16 team boasted of 3 players who had played Ranji Trophy cricket for Haryana. The young Kapil Dev impressed them with his attitude and talent and became a regular member of the side.

Kapil Dev made his Test debut on 16th October 1978 at Faisalabad against Pakistan. His unbeaten innings of 175 against Zimbabwe in the World Cup in 1983 when India were tottering at 17/5 and his 4 successive sixes in the first innings of the Lords test in 1990 to get the 24 runs needed to avoid the follow on are now part of cricketing folk lore.
