Pakistan skipper, Shahid Afridi, has praised Indian captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, for his outstanding leadership in the ICC World Cup 2011. He said that Dhoni has been a stable captain, who led his team with consistency.
Afridi, who has unintentionally uttered rude remarks about Indians being not as large hearted as Pakistanis, has finally expressed his admiration for his Indian counterpart. He said that the team under Dhoni’s captaincy has performed brilliantly in the mega event.
According to reports, the Pakistani all-rounder has said, “He had a big role to play in the Indian victory and I am sure this victory means a lot for Indian cricket and their people. But I also hope the World Cup coming back to Asia will also boost the sport in this region again and normalise bilateral Indo-Pak cricket relations”.
However, he also accepted the fact that the Indian side was better in the semi-final of the tournament and they deserved to win the coveted title. Afridi also praised the batting line up of the Indian cricket team and stated that their magnificent cricket icon, Sachin Tendulkar, has given his best and played exceptionally well in all matches of the tournament.
