New Delhi: Sachin Tendulkar might not evoke terror in the hearts of touring sides nowadays, but Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria has warned his team not to take him lightly as the maestro might just have a few points to prove in the coming series. “He may be getting on in years but he remains a master batsman and as far as I know, he would really be gritting his teeth to prove a point or two to us and to his critics,” said Kaneria in an interview on Thursday. Kaneria, left out of Pakistan’s one-day squad but spearhead of its Test attack, also likes what he has seen of young guns such as Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa. “Gambhir and Uthappa are two exciting young Indian batsmen. They look extremely positive and aggressive and are a good understudy of Yuvraj Singh who now appears to have come of age,” stated Kaneria. Kaneria also suspects that India would have slow pitches prepared to draw the teeth out of Pakistan’s pace attack. “That has been their strength and for sometime now, they are opting for two-spinner theory. If it was Harbhajan-Murali Kartik against Australia; it was Ramesh Powar-Piyush Chawla duo who worked well for them in England.” — PTI
