Kapil Dev not happy to see Tendulkar being criticised – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 being criticised in the media and feels that the legendary cricketer should talk to the national selectors about his future, in order to get rid of the current state of confusion.
The 39-year-old cricketer is considered to be one of the best batsmen of the game’s rich history, with more than 33 thousand runs at the highest level of the sport, including 100 centuries, no batsman comes even close to the little master’s stats.
The former Indian skipper however, has been off-colour in international cricket since the last 18 months, failing to register a single Test hundred in the period. The batting-maestro has been slammed by different ranks, who believe that the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820-born player should now call it a day from international sport, making way for the youngsters.
After a cheap dismissal in the first Test against England at Ahmedabad, Tendulkar managed just 16 runs in the two innings at Mumbai, failing to help his side avoid defeat.
Kapil is of the opinion that there should be better communication between the great cricketer and the selectors, as both the parties should make things clear about Tendulkar’s future in the Indian team.
“Either selectors should speak to him or http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 should himself have a word with them. The problem is that Sachin does not speak about it openly and the selectors have also been mum about it till now,” said the former all-rounder.
The world cup winning captain of 1983 expressed that Tendulkar has been a great servant of Indian cricket over the years and does not want criticism on one of the greatest players of the game at the twilight of his career.
Kapil added, “This results in confusion amongst the fans and also invites criticism from everyone, especially when Sachin performs badly. Selectors should talk to him openly. He (Sachin) is a hero and one feels really bad to see fingers being pointed at him.”
The third Test between India and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 begins from December 5, at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, which provides a massive opportunity to Tendulkar to answer his critics in style.
