all-time World Cup records which might not be broken
#1 Youngest captain to win a World Cup - Kapil Dev (24)
Kapil Dev led from the front in India's 1983 WC triumphKapil Dev was just 24 years and 176 days old when he lifted the coveted trophy at the Lord's balcony. A raw talent from Haryana called the shots in batting and bowling from the day he debuted as a 19-year old and went on to lead India to a title triumph.
India went into the 1983 World Cup with no big hopes having won a solitary game in the previous two World Cups. However, captain Kapil Dev had his sight on the trophy. Considered as India's greatest fast bowler ever, the opposition batsmen were wary of his deadly out swingers courtesy of his open-chested action.
Although he claimed 12 wickets, it was his batting that got India crucial points. His whirlwind knock of 175* off 138 balls when India was struggling at 17/5 is still regarded as the greatest counter-attacking knock. A special mention to his fielding with his running catch to dismiss Sir Vivian Richards turned the 1983 final on its head.
The record is unlikely to be broken as it is a rarity to see a player leading their team at such a young age in the current scene of international cricket.
