Wasim Akram regards Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the best Indian captain – Cricket Update


The legendary Pakistani fast bowler, Wasim Akram regards Mahendra Singh Dhoni as ‘the best captain’, Indian has ever had.
A few days ago, Sachin Tendulkar termed Dhoni as the best captain, he has played under. The coach, Gary Kirsten also declared him as the best captain, who puts in his maximum effort in the field and is very sensitive towards the performance of the team.
The former Pakistan captain also joined the chorus and said the wicket-keeper batsman’s record is a testimony to the fact.
Akram said, "Dhoni performed very well in the last four years. He has evolved as a leader, not just as a cricketer. In my opinion, if you see his records, he is definitely the best captain India ever had."
Dhoni emerged as India’s new hero, bringing home the ICC World Cup 2011 trophy which is a remarkable achievement. One cannot forget India's ultimate victory against Sri Lanka in the World Cup Final. The wicket-keeper batsman hit a match winning innings of 91, scripting India’s six-wicket triumph against Sri Lanka.
Akram explained that Dhoni’s gambled with the decision of promoting himself up in the batting order in place of Yuvraj in the final, paid off due to the confidence he had in himself.
The Pakistani legend explained that there is nothing more prestigious for a captain to accomplish than winning the biggest cricketing event and Dhoni is the lucky man who did it.
Commenting on the emotions of Tendulkar, Yuvraj, Harbhajan Singh and all the others, who cried like babies with joy after winning the mega event, Akram said, “I have been there as a World Cup winner. I know the feeling, the excitement and what it is to win the World Cup.”
Congratulating the team and the entire Indian nation, Akram made it clear that they deserved to win the trophy and they did it in style.
The former pacer, who has been shouldering his responsibilities as ‘bowling consultant’ for the Kolkata Knight Riders, further admired Dhoni’s calm and cool personality, as the captain never loses his temper, even in the worst of times.
