Cricket gave me life, but you have to move on: Kapil Dev events movie news
In the Dr. Wes Paes Cup in Kolkata, Kapil Dev It was exactly as you’d expect – candid, down-to-earth, and refreshingly simple. Speaking on the sidelines of the event, the cricket legend reflected on Kolkata’s unique sporting spirit, the legacy of the Paes family and why, despite everything the game has given them, life is ultimately about moving on.
On Kolkata, its people and the Paes family“I think what draws me here is the amazing people. In India, every part is different, and Bengalis are very, very different people. You can see the happiness on everyone’s face – they don’t criticize so much, and I really like that. As far as the Paes family goes, they have given a lot to the society. I probably didn’t know Dr. Paes that closely, but I have followed Leander more. I know his father played hockey and very well. Used to do. I’m here for them, for their dad, it’s amazing to be a part of something like this.“
On advice, team spirit and the current Indian team“I’m not big enough to give advice to anyone. Just go out, express yourself and enjoy yourself, that’s more important than anything else. Cricket is a team game. When you win tournaments, you have to respect everyone. It’s not right to talk about just one player. Yes, someone like Sanju Samson might have played brilliantly, but so did others, you name it. Everyone was there when it mattered. I think the Indian The team is doing well and that’s the most important thing.” They are playing well, enjoying and today the infrastructure has improved 1000 percent. This is a wonderful sign for the future.”
On his career, comeback and life beyond cricket“If I ask you to remember your school days, you will remember them fondly, you will enjoy those memories, but you will move on. That’s how I see my career. I had a wonderful time. God has been merciful. Cricket allowed me to travel around the world, see different places and understand people. If I had not played cricket, only I would know where I grew up. Today, I am happy that I have seen the world because of sports, cricket has given me life. As far as giving back goes, I don’t think so. It is not necessary for everyone to do the same work. There are people in the system, cricket boards, selectors, coaches, who are doing this work and I praise them for that. I’m just enjoying myself now, living my life.Moving forward, the format and what it means to cricket today“I don’t miss cricket. Why should I miss it? You move on in life. If you keep missing something, it means you haven’t moved on. It’s like school, you can miss it, but you don’t want to go back. Even now, every day I wake up and think what else can I do in life. Golf is part of it, but life is bigger than just one thing. As far as formats go, I love cricket, it’s T20, Test Or more importantly, cricket has given me everything, a life, a way of thinking. But that was everything to me then. Now, life is bigger than that. I just like to see and enjoy what people are doing in the game today. That’s enough for me.”
