Indian cricket legend Kapil Dev was the guest sports editor at Khaleej Times on Monday.
And the 1983 World Cup hero soon faced questions on Imran Khan, the new Pakistan prime minister who fought many a cricket battle with Kapil Dev in the past.
"Imran Khan, well done. I hope that he will be able to bring peace to India and Pakistan," the former India captain said at the Khaleej Times office on Monday.
"I think the big question is if Imran as prime minister can give everybody in his country three meals a day," Kapil said.

"Can he give the youth of Pakistan jobs? People like me who have played cricket with him like to see him perform as the prime minister of Pakistan," he added.
Kapil then praised the legendary Pakistan cricketer for his indomitable spirit.
"I have spoken to him only once since he became the prime minister. What a journey he has had. To be prime minister of any country, it takes lot of discipline, dedication and hard work. He has worked very hard to reach where he has reached today," the former India captain said.
