#2 Both Kapil Dev and Hardik Pandya got their 500 Test runs in a 10th Test match
There is always a tendency of drawing comparisons between eras. Whenever we witness a rare commodity, cricket pundits and the followers are always intended to compare it with people who possessed a similar potential in the past. On the same lines, there always has been a temptation of finding a Kapil Dev sort of player ever since his retirement.
And now when we see Hardik Pandya, we tend to draw comparisons merely through numbers between the two individuals separated over more than 20 years. Though there is a similarity between the two in their 10th Test match in their career.
Hardik is playing his 10th Test match currently against England at Trent Bridge as he got to his 500 Test runs and so did Kapil Dev in the 10th Test match of his career. It is better to let Pandya play his own game instead of asking him to be someone which he won’t even think of any time in his career.
