Kapil Dev's 175* in 1983 is one of the World Cup's most famous innings, coming as it did after India slumped to 17 for five against Zimbabwe in Tunbridge Wells. Virender Sehwag's 175 in the 2011 World Cup was more about making a statement: he smacked the first ball of the tournament for four. The rest of his innings was just as much an exercise in bullying. • Getty Images
