Playing for India matters more than the captaincy: Kapil Dev
However, Kapil Dev stressed that it doesn’t matter who leads the team, but what truly matters is playing for India, saying wearing the national jersey is the biggest honor. He suggested Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav should avoid the noise and focus on winning games for India.
He further explained, “Very simple, are they playing for India? That's much bigger. You are not representing the captaincy; you are representing the country. That is more important. You see who is the captain and who is not. But I see that they are representing the country.”
