Explanation
Kapil Dev captained the Indian cricket team during the 1987 World Cup, which was co-hosted by India and Pakistan. This was the last World Cup for legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev as captain. Sunil Gavaskar had retired from ODI cricket by 1987, and Sachin Tendulkar made his debut later that year but was not captain.
AI explanation
Kapil Dev captained India to its historic 1983 Cricket World Cup title, but this question actually refers to the 1987 World Cup, where he continued as captain even though India was eliminated in the semi-finals by England. Sachin Tendulkar and Mohammad Azharuddin became captains later in India's cricketing history, not in 1987.
