One of the many perks of being Kapil Dev is that you're destined to be treated as a sporting royalty. The flipside, if there is any, is that it's virtually impossible to sit by the 18th hole and sip some cappuccino quietly, for the requests for signatures and selfies can get a little too much.
Having lived that adulation for much of his 66 years, it's easy for Kapil to put his game face on and pose, but when he gets talking on golf, Kapil’s easy charm and infectious enthusiasm need to be seen to be believed.
“This is my second innings. I left the life of a cricketer long back. It’s golf, and only golf now,” he said. That's obvious, considering the 1983 World Cup-winning captain is now the president of Professional Golf Tournament of India (PGTI), and in that respect, the ongoing DP World India Championship at the Delhi Golf Club (DGC), Kapil said, is “the most significant development in Indian golf.”
