Okay, just did a deep dive into Kapil's performance in those places series by series; and it was pretty fascinating..... So here it is, a bunch of excuses:
Pakistan:
78: 3m, 7@61. Debut series, and the Indian bowlers did specifically bad in this one. Chandrasekhar averaged 48, Bedi 74 and Prasanna 125. Verdict; was debut and everyone shitted, can't blame too hard here.
83: 6m, 24@34. It's Imran's golden series, with some serious ball tampering allegations. Kapil was the 2nd highest wicket taker and had around similar averages to othe top Pakistani bowlers. Verdict; not a great series, but overall considering everything, a really good one.
84: 2m, 1@126. Practically bowled a single innings. Pakistan never batted for the 2nd innings that game, and Kapil bowled 5 overs in the 2nd one. Verdict; one bad innings here really.
89: 4m, 12@31. Man of the match in the 1st Test, was good in two others, wicketless in one; bowled a single innings in all the other 3. Verdict; a pretty good series here.
England:
79: 4m, 16@31. Took a 5-fer in the 1st Test, 3 wickets in 3 innings to follow and 2 wickets in the last. Was 2nd highest wicket taker after Botham. India should had really won the last game, but oh well..... Verdict; a really good series.
82: 3m, 10@43. Was again the man of the match in the 1st Test, taking 8 wickets in a loosing cause. Sucked in the other 2 though. Verdict; I won't call being MOTM in one of a three match series a failure, but failing so hard in the other two makes it hard to classify as successful either. Overall alright, with great highs and lows.
86: 3m, 10@30. Again, MOTM in the first game. Difference being, India won that game, and so did the next one to win the series. Was better this turn around in the other 2 games as well. Verdict; hard to agree against it being really good.
90: 3m, 7@63. Yeah, this was a really high scoring series, but overall he just sucked. Verdict, was a really Bad series here.
New Zealand:
81: 3m, 8@31. Again, got 7 in the 1st game itself. But well, the 2nd game looks to be washed away and in the 3rd he bowled surprisingly spare. Verdict; an alright series.
89: 3m, 5@61. Was goodish in the 1st match, didn't bowl much in the 2nd, sucked hard in the 3rd. Verdict; overall sucked here no doubt, was a really bad series.
93: 1m, 2@36. An alright game. Verdict; alright ig.
