Pakistan should be wary of MS Dhoni, he is still a dangerous player, says Aamir Sohail

[MenInG]

Pakistan, who face off against India later this week in a Champions Trophy game, should be way of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Aamer Sohail said at Aaj Tak Salaam Cricket 2017.

"The way Dhoni has been able to win matches with a team with limited resources is remarkable", the former Pakistani opener said, adding, "Pakistan should definitely be scared of Dhoni, he is still a very dangerous player".

Harbhajan Singh who was part of the session where Sohail made the comments also said that even though Dhoni may not be handling captaincy, he brings a lot of experience to the team and is a terrific asset. "Dhoni can win you matches not just as a batsman but also as a wicketkeeper, as a leader," the Indian off-spinner said. (Harbhajan Singh, Aamer Sohail agree: At times Bangladesh plays better cricket than Pakistan ).

Bhajji noted that Dhoni as well as Yuvraj Singh are no longer the batsmen they were in their primes.

"(Back then) they could start hitting from the word go. Now if they are willing to spend time in the middle and play out 20-25 balls then they can regain their touch," Harbhajan added.

Meanwhile, Aamer Sohail credited Dhoni with playing a huge role in building the current Indian side. "The team which Virat Kohli has inherited, Dhoni has a huge role to play in that. The way Dhoni has been able to win matches with a team with limited resources is remarkable," Sohail said.

Aamir Sohail is not a clow like Sehwag. Miandad will often go overboard when it comes to bashing Indians and it is much funnier than what Sehwag says

As long as it's light hearted and does not go overboard I think ex players should do a bit of trolling like Sehwag or Miandad..

 

[roshanrocks]

It's time the Pakistani current and ex players are directed towards shaz's thread to show how to talk to press. This goody goody behaviour is off putting. Put some pressure on the Indians for God sake. Make them feel the weight of the game....
Make them feel the AAG

MUMBAI: Former Pakistan Test opener Aamir Sohail slammed Indian policy of playing with Pakistani only in ICC tournaments.

While talking in an Indian TV show, the left-handed batsman said if the BCCI does not want to play cricket with Pakistan then it should also be applied on ICC tournaments.

“When you take such a hard stance that you will not play bilateral series with Pakistan, will not keep ties with neighbouring country, but when it comes to matches in World Cup or Champions Trophy, why sudden change of stance?” he asked.

“It is about money because the BCCI does not want disappoint the Indian broadcaster who holds the rights to telecast these tournaments,” he asserted.

Sohail emphasised that if India wants to take hard stance, it should keep it for every tournament and series.

“Keep one stance either you want to play or not because there is no middle way in it.”

Meanwhile, Indian off-spinner Harbajhan Singh also endorsed Aamir’s comments stating in case of any hostility between two countries only cricket got affected.

“If we want to boycott cricket with Pakistan then there should not be any business ties, no other sport should be played, there must be complete shut down,” he said.

Former Indian captain Azharuddin also agreed with Aamir, saying he has been asking for same thing. “Why only cricket is being targeted?” Azhar asked.

It is if you are Pakistani.

 

[IAJ]

Here you have two former indian players agreeing with Aamir, but BCCI's chamchey here at PP will still not agree.

Indeed very much so.

I hope that he does not get to bat much, if possible.
