Recently India's former Test Cricketer W.V.Raman described
a very entertaining story.India had gone to tour NewZealand
for a practice Test Series in 1989-1990.India was playing
against Otogo in Dunedine.India batted first and scored
more than 400 runs at first day and at second day they
were in good condition because they had already taken two
wickets before lunch time.During lunch time Kapil Dev
complained to be having Headache.
At that time there was nothing like Physiotherapist,
Physical trainer and Doctors associated with team.Indian
Team's manager Bishan Singh Bedi was acting as temporary
doctor.Bedi gave a tablet to Kapil.When team was about to
go after lunch,Kapil said his headache have increased
from before and he slept on sofa.Most of his teammate were
thinking Kapil don't want to face tiredness in this type
of practice matches.When team later returned for tea he
was still sleeping.When team return after day end,they saw
Kapil is in deep sleep.Which thing was responsible for this
condition of Kapil?.
Later it is known that Bishan Singh Bedi had given Tablet
for sleeping instead of pain killer.And one thing all
teammates followed by Kapil instance was they did not go
for Bishan Singh Bedi if they had headache.It was not a
International Test match so India did not face any loss
by loosing Kapil.This is counted as one of the humorous
event in cricket history.
