Mohammed Azharuddin begs to differ with current head coach Ravi Shastri, who had recently said that Indian teams of the past 20 years have not achieved as much as this current lot has. "The Indian team in those days were different to the team now so it is unfair to compare. He (Shastri) was also part of the team in those days so he is also including himself. The bowlers were different, the opposition teams were different so it is difficult to compare between the two eras," he said at the pre-launch event of 3D mobile game Azhar- the Captain, by Hyderabad based firm BigCode Games.


The former captain defended Anil Kumble's decision to quit as Indian cricket team's head coach, saying the legendary leg-spinner took the right call in the interest of his self respect.

"It is sad that something like this happened to Anil. Knowing Anil, I don't think he is that type of a person. Maybe he thought it is better to be away than losing your self-respect. I think he took the right decision under the circumstances," Azharuddin said.
