Kolkata: Former India all- rounder Bapu Nadkarni described Sachin Tendulkar as an all-time great cricketer.
"Cricketers like (Don) Bradman,
(Brian) Lara are born once in a
while. Tendulkar is one of them,
he is an all-time legend, a gem,"
the 77-year-old said while
attending a programme at the
Thakurpukur Cancer Hospital
here on Saturday.
Asked how would he have
bowled to Tendulkar if he was
there, the former left-arm
spinner known for his tidy and
economical bowling, said, "You
can never set a field to a
batsman like him. He will
dominate you no matter how
you bowl or the field you set.
That's the greatness in him."
A respected name in Mumbai
cricket, Nadkarni also said
Twenty20 cricket was affecting
the game.
"We are not getting good
bowlers now-a-days and T20 has
to be blamed. You cannot judge
a bowler's efficiency by seeing
him in short spells in T20. There
has to be a lot of Test cricket
that will produce good bowlers,"
he said.
