No one can ever replace a player of Dhoni\u2019s stature. Pant is a talented cricketer and we shouldn\u2019t put him under pressure by comparing him with Dhoni. His time will surely come,\u201d the 1983 World Cup-winning captain told mediapersons on the sidelines of a promotional event on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kapil had a number of all-rounders, including Mohinder Amarnath, Madan Lal, Roger Binny and himself, in that squad.However, both Hardik Pandya and Vijay Shankar\u2019s bowling has been an issue, but Kapil refused to be critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWinning World Cup is not buying sweets from a shop. It\u2019s a mission and at this juncture, I don\u2019t want to be the critic who wants to pull the team. I will not like to harp on weak points and rather focus on our strengths,\u201d said the legendary all-rounder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rishabh Pant is a talented cricketer but he shouldn\u2019t be compared with Mahendra Singh Dhoni, feels India\u2019s first World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev.
