MS Dhoni as he has faced criticism for his team's embarrassing ODI series defeat against Bangladesh but Pakistan T20 captain Shahid Afridi is ‘not happy’ in the manner the Indian ODI skipper was being targeted.
According to local media reports Afridi said, “I really felt bad in the way MS (Dhoni) has been treated after Bangladesh series defeat. I completely think it’s a sub-continental trend where our heroes are not spared after one bad defeat. The media is also responsible for not painting the true picture at times”.
“I am not saying that one should not analyse the present performance of a leader or a player. Criticize him but when you do that please don't forget to also inform the world about the past. When you look at Dhoni, just look at his record before jumping to any conclusions. He has been such a tremendous player for India. His record speaks for itself,” added Afridi.
Afridi could empathise more with Dhoni as he has also faced criticism over the years in his own country. “Dhoni has built such a good team for the future. There is so much quality and talent in that batting line-up,” he said.
All rounder batsmen also said that playing in CPL T20 leagues across the world is his way of staying fit for competitions and he would like to play the World T20 in India, next year.
