How many 30 plus scores did they score though?
Kapil has an RPI of 19. That's quite poor, worse than even Afridi.

Folks here are overrating Kapil because they are forgetting he was a bowling AR, batting being of secondary importance, in an era where the job of the main pacer in ODIs was still to bowl out the opposing team and not just restrict runs.

Imran’s knock in 1992 World Cup Final was a Kohli-esque knock, coming to bat at 3. Isn’t it?
In test SR does not even matter.In test do you prefer kapil over imran ?

SR matters more in ODIs than Tests.
Kapil better batsman in Test, Imran overall better test player.

Imran in general has a better record than Kapil in WCs too.
