The incident of Kapil Dev severely criticizing the leading players of the Indian team has caused shock among the fans.
Many Indian cricketers are taking a break from participating in some series citing pressure.
BCCI is giving rest to the players as the cricket matches are going on now.
In this situation, Kapil Dev’s speech in a program in Kolkata has created a controversy.
No need to play for India
Also, he criticized the leading players using harsh words.
In the speech, he said, “I am constantly listening. The saying that we are playing in IPL and there is a lot of pressure has become very common among players nowadays.
All I ask of them is one thing. Then why are you playing for India? Chances are, who is asking you to play?
If you play with so much pressure some will admire you and many will scold you. If you are afraid of all this swearing then you don’t need to play for India.
Call it pride
How do you feel when you play for your country? How is that possible? Out of 100 crore people, only 20 people get a chance to play for the country.
Call it pride, I don’t understand how you can call it crisis and pressure. It is certainly something to be proud of.
You get so much love from people. Ditch the word pressure and use the word proud. Stress is a word used by the American people.
Open a grocery store
If you can’t play, if you can’t practice, don’t. Pushing you to be who you want to be.
Go somewhere and open a grocery store. Survive by selling banana eggs there. You get a chance to play for your country.
How can you say pressure. You have to take it happily and play. When you enjoy your work, it becomes easier.
If you call the job stressful, you will not benefit from it.” Kapildev has criticized that.
