Bedi is here for the second Test as a special guest of the Cricket Association of Bengal and is staying at the same hotel where the Pakistan and Indian teams are stationed.
Bedi, who retains his boisterous charm and wit, told the Pakistani spinner that he had seen him bowl in the first two Tests and that he felt he (Kaneria) was using too many variations in his bowling besides getting hyper active whenever he was hit by the batsman.
Bedi told Kaneria that his main requirement was to learn to keep his calm and composure even when things were not going his way, as temperament mattered a lot for a successful spinner.
