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
"I think he has done well. His record is good and it speaks for itself."
Asked if captains today get more leeway than their predecessors, Azhar said, "Every captain has his say. Nothing like that."
India will now play six ODIs starting February 1 in Durban.
Azhar said the tourists have a good chance provided the batting clicks. "We have a good side and we should be able to beat them. In the One days, hopefully our batting will click."
On a different note, the stylish right-hander, in the city as the chief guest at Delhi Public School's Annual Sports Day, said he will be meeting Committee of Administrators (CoA) chairman Vinod Rai soon regarding the post of president of the Hyderabad Cricket Association which he has been cleared to contest by the BCCI.
