Yes, exchanged with Kapil Dev
No, it was not exchanged
Yes, but exchanged with Mohammad Azharuddin
No, he continued as captain
Answer
Yes, Gavaskar's captaincy was exchanged with Kapil Dev just months before the World Cup. This was a controversial decision, as Gavaskar was the captain of the team that had won the previous World Cup, and Kapil Dev was a relatively inexperienced player. However, the Indian team went on to win the World Cup under Kapil Dev's captaincy, so the decision was ultimately vindicated.
