The World Cup-winning skipper Kapil had scored 3783 runs in 198 innings at an average of 23.79.
Talking about the match, Bangladesh after being asked to bat, made a remarkable comeback to post 265/8 on the board in the last Super Four game of the tournament.
Skipper Shakib Al Hasan led from the front and bailed his team out from precarious 59/4 with a fine knock of 80 off 85 balls.
India will take on Sri Lanka in the final on Sunday in Colombo.
