‘How to become a captain if you don’t know English’? How did Kapil Dev face these questions? what was the answer

New Delhi: Kapil Dev, the former captain of the Indian team, is considered one of the greatest all-rounders. Kapil was known for contributing equally to the team with bat and ball. His fielding was also amazing. During a summit, Kapil Dev revealed how he was not being selected for the captaincy because he did not know English. Then how did he face it?
Once speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Kapil said, “He used to say how will we make him the captain. He doesn’t even know English. I said call someone from Oxford and make him the captain. He will captain, I will play cricket. This country has gone a bit crazy for English. I believe that English is a language that you can learn and express yourself. But the important thing is to know the language which is yours. I have Punjabi language because I have come from Punjab.
