Before Sachin, take a dig at yourself, Kapil

Kapil Dev retired in 1994. Sachin Tendulkar retired in 2013. Both had loads of cricketing ability. Both took forever to reach a dreaded milestone. In Kapil's book, Sachin underachieved. A little rich coming from a man who had far more ability than most players of his generation; but ended up with only one ODI century - yeah, that 175* against Zimbabwe in the 1983 Prudential World Cup. It'll be somewhat becoming if Kapil Dev now follows up with a few digs at himself - "I never scored a double, triple or four hundred", "I took forever to break the World record", "Sorry Srinath", "I threw my wicket way too many times." Easy Kapil Paaji, you don't need to always cry about something to make headlines.
