Kapil Dev Makes Bold Comments On Cricketers Who Feel Pressured

IPL 2023: Kapil Dev, India's World Cup hero in 1983, made a controversial statement about T20 leagues such as the IPL. When asked how players deal with pressure in modern cricket, the 63-year-old said that he heard a lot of concerns about the pressure of playing in the IPL. He then asked the players not to play in the IPL if they were under too much pressure.

As a guest at the 'Champions of Aakash 2022' event, Kapil Dev discussed how things have changed in modern cricket since he played.

I just have one piece of advice: "don't play." What exactly is this pressure? "There should be no pressure if you are enthusiastic," he stated on the show.
