Don’t Compare Pandya to Me If He Keeps Making Silly Mistakes, Says Kapil Dev

Written by Vipin Darwade

Team India’s rising superstar Hardik Pandya is often considered as India’s best all-rounder since the days of the legendary Kapil Dev. However, Kapil Dev on Tuesday said Hardik Pandya does not deserve to be compared with him if he keeps making silly mistakes like he did in the second Test against South Africa.

“If Pandya keeps making silly mistakes like these then he doesn’t deserve to be compared with me,” Dev told ‘ABP’ news. Dev was reacting to Pandya’s dismissal in the second innings.

Chasing a target of 287 in the fourth innings, India were reeling at 65 for five when Pandya came into bat. he went for his famous ramp shot and chased a wide ball off Lungi Ngidi, only managing an edge to wicket-keeper Quinton De Kock.

“He definitely has a lot of talent, he has shown it in the first Test but I believe he needs to work on the mental aspect.” Kapil said.
