New Delhi, May 11 (TNS): Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi once again admired players from the arch rival neighbouring country, a sports website reported on Friday.
Afridi in a recent interview with FOX Sports Asia with a list of questions also talked about who he thinks is the coolest captain in world cricket and also named his favourite Indian cricketer.
Former Indian captain MS Dhoni proved to be a natural leader with little experience before taking over the reins of the Indian team he took them to all the possible highs. From the World T20 title in 2007, No.1 Test ranking to the World Cup 2011 championship and the Champions Trophy 2013. One key attribute of his captaincy is his calm and composed approach. For the way he goes about business Dhoni has been given the tag of ‘Captain Cool’ and Afridi also named Dhoni the coolest skipper in world cricket.
The current Indian captain Virat Kohli, is at the top of his game with the bat. While he was considered one among the top four for the last few years has edged past them by quite a distance at least in limited-overs cricket. He is a tough competitor on the field and doesn’t give the opposition an inch playing fierce and aggressive cricket but at the same time is a very likable character and shares a great off-field bond with a lot of cricketers.
He has also gifted his Pakistani counterparts his bat. So when Afridi was asked to name his favourite Indian cricketer he said, “Virat Kohli.”
