Kambli was more talented than Tendulkar but didn't receive the necessary support: Kapil Dev 

FORMER INDIA CAPTAIN KAPIL DEV said that former middle-order batsman Vinod Kambli might have been more talented than the master blaster Sachin Tendulkar. However, emphasizing upon parental guidance, the 1983 World Cup-winning skipper pointed out that a stronger support system helped Tendulkar achieve unprecedented success in his career. 

As reported by deccanchronicle, the 57-year-old said,

“They both started together and were equally talented. Kambli, maybe, was more talented, but his support system, the environment at home and his friends circle, was totally different than what Sachin had."

Urging the parents to support their kids in pursuing their respective career, the legendary all-rounder added,

“We all know what happened later. Sachin went on to play for 24 years and Kambli just disappeared as he failed to live up to the success he achieved early in his career. Talent is one thing, but a sportsperson needs more than that. Support of friends, parents, brother, sister, school, college...everything."
