Sachin Tendulkar And Kapil dev

Sachin Tendulkar And Kapil dev

Kapil Dev had said Sachin Tendulkar didn't know how to get more than just hundreds and that he spent time with Mumbai cricketers who played 'neat and straight cricket.

Kapil Dev's criticism of Sachin Tendulkar in Dubai has attracted sharp reactions from the Mumbai cricket fraternity.

"He (Sachin) got stuck with Bombay cricket. He didn't apply himself to ruthless international cricket. I think he should have spent more time with Vivian Richards than some of the Bombay guys who played just neat and straight cricket. He did not know how to make double hundreds, triple hundreds and 400 though he had the ability, and was stuck in the Mumbai school of cricket," Kapil Dev was quoted as saying yesterday by Khaleej Times in Dubai.

Ajit Wadekar, former India and Mumbai captain, felt Kapil's comments in a way displayed a dislike for Mumbai cricket and cricketers, which some cricketers from other regions had in earlier years. Wadekar said: "Yes, in a way, I can sense that dislike. I have been experiencing it since my University cricket days. A lot of Northern players disliked us. They enjoyed staying in Mumbai, but not playing against Mumbai.

"In the final analysis, Sachin scored the maximum runs and is a true legend, and where Mumbai cricket is concerned, - we always - everyone including Sachin and Sunil Gavaskar - played for the team and not for ourselves. That's why we won the Ranji Trophy 40 times. We knew how to win."
