I have seen greats like Richards, Sachin, Kohli, but SKY is once in a century batter: Kapil

TIL Desk Sports/ Amazed by Suryakumar Yadav’s brilliant knock against Sri Lanka in Rajkot, the 1983 World Cup-winning captain, Kapil Dev compared his batting prowess to legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Viv Richards, Virat Kohli, Ricky Ponting.

The India No.4 slammed 112 runs off just 51 balls against Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I match of the series at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium. He helped Team India amass a mammoth 228 for the loss of five wickets before the bowlers folded the visitors for just 137 runs.

“Sometimes I am at a loss of words on how to describe his knock. When we see Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, we feel that someday there will be a player who will compel us to think he is also part of that list,” he told.
