March 22, New Delhi: Kapil Dev has praised Team India for its impressive performances in the shortest format of the game. Speaking exclusively to DD, Kapil Dev congratulated the team on defending the T20 World Cup title and delivering fantastic cricket over the past few years.
However, the cricket legend emphasised that the team needs to put in more effort in the Test format. He noted recent series defeats in Australia and against New Zealand in India, and said that while India has enough talented cricketers, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) must strategise carefully to ensure success in Tests.
Kapil Dev also spoke about Indian golf, praising the PGTI (Professional Golf Tour of India) for nurturing young talent and fostering partnerships with banks and sponsors. He expressed hope that giving opportunities to young players will help grow the game over the next decade.
"Definitely, the way the PGTI is progressing, Indian golf is set to reach the next level," Kapil Dev said, highlighting the importance of supporting emerging players.
