Sachin Tendulkar and Kapil Dev are the two greatest legend of the cricketing world. Now taking a dig at Sachin is injustice to his career. Kapil Dev during a function in Dubai stated that Sachin Tendulkar never did justice to his talent. Tendulkar “did not know how to make double hundreds, triple hundreds and 400 though he had the ability to scale such peaks” and was “stuck in the Bombay school of cricket”, the famed all-rounder said.

Well we are sure that Kapil has full regards for Sachin Tendulkar and viceversa but this incident could have been avoided or put forward in a better manner.

Kapil Dev Achievements

As a young, impressionable trainee, Kapil Dev wanted more food at the camp. When asked why, he said, he was a fast bowler, and was in turn ridiculed and mocked at by the coach, who said that India never produced fast bowlers. This was the kind of back drop in which Kapil Dev Nikhanj picked 434 Test and 253 ODI wickets for India.

Kapil is the only player to have achieved the all-rounder’s double of 4,000 Test runs and 400 Test wickets.
Kapil holds the record for the most innings in a complete career (184) without beingrun out.
He is the youngest test cricketer to take 300 wickets( 27 years 2days)

ODI cricket
