Kapil Dev, Hardik Pandya cannot be compared: Azhar

Kolkata, Jan 30 (CRICKETNMORE) - Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin on Tuesday said "there cannot be another Kapil Dev," rubbishing the comparison of India's first World Cup winning captain with all-rounder Hardik Pandya. "It's not advisable to do that," Azhar

"They could have played. But the captain thinks in a different way, the team thinks in a different way..outside everybody in India felt they should have played," Azhar said.

It's good that we won the last Test. We played like No.1 team on that wicket. We redeemed our prestige. India bowled and batted well."

Azhar also said that the bowlers won India the third Test and were unlucky not to win the series.

"The bowlers have won the last test match. they really put South African batsmen under pressure. We were bit unlucky that we could not get the series our way."

He backed Kohli as captain, saying his record speaks for itself.
