Kolkata, Mar 09: Legendary allrounder Kapil Dev today exhorted the cricketers to play hard and win the series for that is the only good-will tour for them.
Talking to media persons at the hotel lobby before leaving with the team for Eden Gardens, Kapil Dev said, ''People who require to be good will be good. The players need to win the series for themselves and the country.''
He was replying to a question on whether the players should curb their natural aggression on the field keeping in mind that it was a good-will tour. Kapil Dev showed the same fire he had as a youth, when he said, ''This is a matter of life and death for these boys. Its a question of their career. They should give everything and win it for the country and themselves and that is the only goodwill tour for them.''
Asked what did he advise them on soaking the extra pressure, he said, ''There is no question of pressure. They should enjoy the moment and the game. They should bowl with their chest out. Everything else will be alright.'' ''There is no time for anything else if one concentrates on cricket. They have to work hard and reap the results and that is all that matters,'' he said.
