‘India can’t afford to lose Sachin, Dravid, Laxman in one go’ says Richard Hadlee
Former New Zealand cricket Legend Mr. Richard Hadlee believes that the Indian team should persist with the veteran trio that consist of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid & VVS Laxman for some more time.
Richard told that, “You can’t be talking about Tendulkar, Laxman and Dravid’s retirement. You can’t afford to lose all these players in one go. You need to see the young players go through,”.
The former New Zealand veteran said that Sachin Tendulkar has still got some time left in his hands, but pointed out that the Iconic batsman was under immense pressure to get the historical 100th international ton. He told that, “When you are in search of a major milestone, like I was trying to beat Ian Botham’s world record of maximum Test wickets, it creates a lot of pressure. I am sure Tendulkar might be feeling the same way,”.
He also said that, “As far as Indian team is concerned, all they want is he gets to that hundred and they can all relax and get on with the game,”.
“I remember people talking about Tendulkar’s retirement during 2007 World Cup in the West Indies, but he went on to amass runs for the next five years, It may be a year since Tendulkar hasn’t scored a hundred, but he has still batted pretty well and scored some good sixties, seventies and eighties and held the Indian innings together,” Richard added.
