Kapil gave him a few warnings in that game.
He was stealing more than a meter at every time.
I was at that game - the booing everytime Kapil Dev touched the ball after that was something to behold. The problem with that run out, was that Kapil Dev did not warn him in that particular game, but in previous ones.

"Kapil Dev "mankaded" Kirsten, the non-striker, backing up too far before the ball was delivered. Apparently, Kapil Dev had warned Kirsten at least twice in the earlier matches. When the umpire declared Kirsten out, Wessels showed two fingers to Kapil Dev and got into an argument with the fielders. Kirsten refused to leave until the umpire signalled him to leave the field. Kirsten alone was fined later, for dissenting with the umpire's decision."
