Pune: Capil Dev is praised as one of the best Indian Cricket captains have seen, but the captain of the Indian World Cup winner feels the opposite.
Haryana Storm, who was asked to lead the Indian team at the age of 23 years, it felt too young to get responsibility, which was inappropriate.
“When they made me captain, I didn’t think I deserve it,” Dev said in a long youtube series game.
The statement is available through press releases by event producers.
Dev was made to take over the Indian team only one year before the 1983 World Cup.
He felt he had a difficult task to lead the Stalwarts of Indian Cricket.
“I’m still very young.
I have so many senior cricketers and very talented with me and my job is to take it.
I can’t tell Sunil Gavaskar, Mohinder Amarnath, Madan Lal, (Syed) Kirirman how to do their work.
I have to make sure me save it together and I always say one thing: after you enter the cricket soil there is nothing better than you.
Respect as many opponents as you can before the match or after the match and when you are in the field, there is nothing better than you.
” The all-rounder added that the captain might have facilities, but it was a crown of thorns.
“One thing I know about the captain is – when we win, never ‘I win’ but when we lose, the captain must take responsibility.
What you need as the captain is mostly a commitment from the team.
Talented people can still Disappointing you but people who are committed will never disappoint you, “he added.
After retiring from his famous career, Dev was made as an Indian coach for a short time.
However, legendary Cricketer feels coach is not his skills.
“I almost didn’t train.
I’m not a coach.
I was there for a very short and short time.
After that, I realized that I didn’t think I could be a good coach,” he said.
