Werst Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday wished Cricket legend Kapil Dev and Indian musical maestro AR Rahman on their birthdays.

Kapil Dev, the legendary all-rounder of Indian cricket, is also popularly known as one of the greatest cricketers that India has ever produced.

The former Indian skipper had created history when he led the Indian squad to win the first World Cup for India in the year 1983.

The ‘Haryana Hurricane’, who turned 58 today, will always be remembered for his many feats with the bat, including his knock of 175 runs in the 1983 World Cup, or his exploits with the ball on number of occasions that gave India some famous wins, home and abroad.

Kapil Dev was also the coach of Indian team for 10 months between October 1999 to August 2000.

AR Rahman: The ace music composer, who turned 51 today, has done it all, from winning the two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe, fifteen Filmfare Awards and sixteen Filmfare Awards South and four National Film Awards to being awarded the third-highest civilian honor by government of India, Padma Bhushan.

In 2009, Rahman was included on the Time 100 list of the world’s most influential people.

Fondly called as the Mozart of Madras, Rahman is considered as one of the most respected and popular musicians of all time across the globe and his songs are something that you just can’t hate.
