Kolkata: To compare different players from different eras has always been difficult and are part of endless arguments.
From Sunil Gavaskar's centuries to that of Sachin Tendulkar, from Viv Richards batting explosives to that of Virender Sehwag, with Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee's pace being compared to that of West Indian great bowling quartet - Joel Garner, Michael Holding, Colin Croft and Sir Andy Roberts, there are many comparisons which are just imagined but cannot happen in the present to settle arguments.
However, one such comparative narration did happen in the present. Hero and the captain of 1983 World Cup Kapil Dev was up against the best finisher and two World Cup winner (ODIs and T20Is) MS Dhoni. India’s two World Cup winning skippers, Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni, on Thursday, gave the cricket fans a moment to cheer for a lifetime as the two took on each other on the pitch. With a bunch of kids around them, while shooting for a commercial at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, which was arranged by another former India captain Sourav Ganguly – who took India to 2003 World Cup final, Kapil not only bowled to Dhoni, but also surprised him with a bouncer!
