Rewind and you find the Indians had slumped to nine for four on a damp Kent surface at Tunbridge Wells and then 17 for five.
Kapil set about repairing the damage, slowly at first, putting on a sixth-wicket stand of 60 with Roger Binny, before India were reduced further to 78 for seven.

But Kapil went on to register what was the only one-day ton. In the final 11 overs he scored at almost seven an over in what remains a world record ninth-wicket partnership of 126, Syed Kirmani's contribution being only 24.
Kapil's knock included 16 fours and six sixes and was enough to ensure a 31-run victory.
