Apart from his batting, he was a very good captain. I remember him from the 1973 series, which was the first that WI had won for several years. They had a decent attack but not nearly as good as they would later become, yet under Kanhai they were far too good for England's batsmen. He also played a very useful knock in the first WC final, when he must have been approaching 40. He joined Lloyd after three quick wickets had fallen, and their partnership set up the win. As you say, he was a very good player indeed.C_C said:

In 66-67, Windies toured India but played no test at Delhi. Kanhai averaged over 50 in the three tests but when one was waiting to see him in the game against the PM's XI at Feroze Shah Kotla at Delhi, he was rested. I went to see him at the nets before the game. He was a pocket sized dynamo. A right handed Lara.wpdavid said:
It was the match in which Bishan Bedi came to light getting six wickets in the first innings. I had just finished my senior cambridge exams and it was a great time. Two months short of my 17th birthday and the world was a great place.
