Dhoni may be future Tendulkar with a double punch as Tendulkar phases out slowly
Dhoni was definitely a new find for India. He is a hit -hard Tendulkar on the rise. Not all agrees though. According to media reports, lashing out at the media for creating hype after M S Dhoni’s century against Pakistan, former India wicketkeeper, Syed Kirmani, said the Jharkhand stumper still had a long way to go.
‘‘Media hype is not enough, Dhoni still has got a long way to go; he has just started out,’’ Kirmani said, ‘‘Dhoni must be consistent, he has miles to go.’’
But the former wicket-kepeer was happy with the emergence of a new crop of stumpers like Parthiv Patel, Dinesh Kaarthick and Dhoni.
Tendulkar is on the way out says Viv Richards. According to ANI, Former West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards has said that Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar is "aging" and won''t be able to play with the same flamboyance with which he played in his early days of career.
Tendulkar turned 32 on Sunday.
"When you are 21, you are the best, with a perfect sight and good hand-eye co-ordination. At 26, you get a lot wiser. Tendulkar is now a very mature player. He is now more into a fortifying role and not flamboyant. But you must respect that he has grown older. He cannot always fulfil the things that are expected of him. He may be looking to play the way he started his career, but that is not always possible," the Dawn quoted Richards as saying in an interview.
Apparently advising Tendulkar to retire, Viv said, "if Tendulkar left cricket right now, he will still be a legend. He carried India's mantle for a long period. He has done his job and done it well."
With 10,134 runs in his kit, the fourth highest scorer in Test cricket had scores of four, two, six, 123, one and nine during the recent six-match ODI series against Pakistan, the paper said.
