MS Dhoni stunned by Kapil Dev’s bouncer at Eden Gardens Stadium<\/h2>\n

\"kapil-dhoni,<\/p>\n

From Sunil Gavaskar’s centuries to that of Sachin Tendulkar, from Viv Richards batting explosives to that of Virender Sehwag, with Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee’s pace being compared to that of West Indian great bowling quartet. Joel Garner, Michael Holding, Colin Croft and Sir Andy Roberts. There are many comparisons which are just imagined but cannot happen in the present to settle arguments.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s two World Cup winning skippers, Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni. Both on Thursday gave the cricket fans a moment to cheer for a lifetime as the two took on each other on the pitch.<\/p>\n

Dhoni, the skipper of World Cup 2011 team, batted first and played some dashing strokes. The former skipper seen inspecting the Eden Gardens pitch for a while.<\/p>\n
