The 61-year-old on Thursday was seen teeing off at the Delhi Golf Club on Thursday.

'Good to be back on the Golf Course ....' he tweeted.

"You can't express in words what fun it is to be back on the golf course or a cricket ground. It is beautiful to be back at the golf course, having fun and playing with friends. That's what life is all about," Kapil said on the video posted on his Twitter handle.

Kapil has been an avid amateur golfer since his retirement from international cricket back in 1994 and also taken part in many events over the years.

The Indian cricket legend had suffered a heart attack last month and underwent an emergency angioplasty.

He was back home in a couple of days and has since kept his fans updated about his health.
