Sachin HAS to win this World Cup for us: Kapil
Four cricketing legends enthralled a gathering here last evening in the build-up to the 2011 World Cup. At a function organised by Ananda Bazar Patrika, Kapil Dev, Sir Viv Richards, Sourav Ganguly and Steve Waugh discussed the mega event.
Excerpts:
>> Kapil Dev on Sachin Tendulkar: Why are people saying we should win the World Cup for Sachin? People are not playing, we are not playing, Sachin is playing. I feel Sachin has to do it for us. He HAS to win this World Cup for us and we are waiting for that.
>> Sourav Ganguly: I am not a believer of the term, favourite in any sport. This World Cup format gives a platform for all good teams for a quarter-final berth.
>> Steve Waugh: India has a good chance. Another favourite is Australia. In this Aussie side, Brett Lee bring a lot of aggression to the Australian attack. West Indies also has a chance to win.
>> Viv Richards: If you are a leader, you have to perform. And Dhoni is leading the side magnificently.
