Background
Kapoor came up through Indian domestic cricket as an off-spinner who could contribute with the bat. He played in the Ranji Trophy for Punjab, and his consistency on the domestic circuit earned him selection to the national side during a period when Indian cricket was searching for spin-bowling all-rounders.
Career
Kapoor played Test cricket and One Day Internationals for India in the mid-1990s. As an off-spinner, he was part of an Indian spin attack that traditionally relied on slow bowlers in home conditions. His domestic career with Punjab spanned several seasons in the Ranji Trophy and other first-class tournaments organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Style of play
Kapoor bowled right-arm off-break and batted right-handed, often featuring in the lower-middle order for his domestic side. He was regarded primarily for his control and ability to bowl long spells in first-class matches.
Significance
Kapoor's career reflects the depth of spin-bowling talent that emerged from northern Indian cricket in the 1990s. Although his international tenure was relatively brief, he was among the off-spinners considered by selectors during that era of Indian cricket.
