Former Pakistani all-rounder Abdul Razzaq has said India's Hardik Pandya is nowhere near the league of Kapil Dev and needs to work harder to become a world-class cricketer.

The former Pakistani all-rounder also backtracked from his earlier comment on Jasprit Bumrah and said that his baby bowler comment on India spearhead Bumrah was wrongly interpreted.

One of the most prolific all-rounders to have come out of Pakistan, the 40-year-old also said India will continue to enjoy an unbeaten record against his team at the World Cup, as Indians handle the pressure of the big game much better.
