Hardik Pandya Isn't An All-Rounder If He Can't Bowl, Says Kapil Dev

By IANS News November 26, 2021 • 18:00 PM View: 2043

After some flamboyant outings in international cricket, Hardik Pandya was being touted as the next big thing, with some experts comparing him to the legendary Kapil Dev. But the 1983 World Cup-winning captain questioned Hardik's bowling ability, saying if he is not bowling "so can we call him an all-rounder?"

Asked about Hardik's credentials as an all-rounder, Kapil replied, "He has to do both the jobs to be considered an all-rounder. He is not bowling so can we call him an all-rounder? Let him bowl, he has come out from the injury."
