Pakistan’s cricket captain has expressed his admiration for former India skipper MS Dhoni, saying he is trying to adopt qualities that made Dhoni one of the most respected leaders in world cricket. Ahead of the upcoming World Cup, the captain revealed that he has been closely watching Dhoni’s interviews and leadership style to improve his own approach.
Speaking about the inspiration, he noted that Dhoni’s calmness under pressure and ability to back his players even in difficult situations are lessons he hopes to apply. “I watched his interviews and got to learn how he kept his team united, how he made decisions under stress, and how he remained composed in crunch moments. That is the kind of leadership I want to bring,” he reportedly said.
Dhoni, who led India to three ICC trophies including the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup, and 2013 Champions Trophy, has long been admired for his tactical acumen and ability to read the game. The Pakistan skipper added that leadership is not only about on-field tactics but also about managing dressing room dynamics and keeping morale high.
Analysts believe his comments highlight the growing influence of Dhoni’s legacy across international cricket, transcending rivalries. With the World Cup approaching, the Pakistan captain’s focus on emulating Dhoni is being seen as a step to bring stability and confidence to his squad.
