Anil Kumble
Mohammad Azharuddin
Kapil Dev
Sachin Tendulkar
Answer
Kapil Dev took over the captaincy of the Indian cricket team six months before the 1983 Cricket World Cup. This was a bold move by the selectors as Kapil Dev was a relatively new player at the time and had not yet proven himself as a captain. However, Kapil Dev proved to be a wise choice as he led the Indian team to victory in the World Cup.
