Former India captain Bishan Singh Bedi on Friday took an indirect dig at Sachin Tendulkar’s prolonged lean patch, saying it was high time for him to start scoring runs again.
“It’s high time that he (Tendulkar) should get back to runs to get people’s respect,” said the legendary left-arm spinner.
Here in the city for a promotional programme, Bedi said getting 10 wickets in a Test match is like scoring hundreds in each innings.
“Even a player of Tendulkar’s calibre has not done it, so it’s an enormous achievement,” Bedi said recalling his only 10-wicket haul in Perth.
