Saeed Ajmal on MS Dhoni: Former Pakistani cricket team player Saeed Ajmal has now given a strange statement about Dhoni. Ajmal once played as the main spin bowler of the Pakistan team, but he has not been able to win the title of Player of the Match even once in the ODI format. Now Ajmal declared himself entitled to the player of the match in a match against India and said that it was given to Dhoni who also dropped two catches in that match.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is counted among the successful captains of world cricket. Dhoni has played 350 matches in his ODI career. During this, where he scored more than 10 thousand runs with the bat, he also took 321 catches and 123 stumpings behind the stumps. However, Dhoni, the captain who won 3 ICC trophies to India, could win the Player of the Match title only 21 times in his ODI career. In this, one match is included in the bilateral series played against Pakistan in the year 2012.
In the year 2012 between India and Pakistan, Pakistan took an unassailable lead in the series by winning the first 2 matches of the 3-match ODI series. After this, while talking in Nadir Ali’s podcast about the last ODI, Ajmal said that I think my luck was bad. I played an important role in getting India down to 175 in the third ODI. I took 5 wickets in that match. At the same time, apart from scoring only 18 runs, Dhoni also dropped 2 catches in the match. Even after this, he was given the title of Player of the Match. I think this award should be given to the one who does well in the match. India won the match but Dhoni was given the player of the match title even after dropping the catch.
Dhoni scored 36 runs in that match
The statement given by Saeed Ajmal regarding Mahendra Singh Dhoni is completely wrong. Where the Indian team was limited to scoring 167 runs in that match. At the same time, Dhoni scored the maximum 36 runs during the batting of Team India. Apart from this, Dhoni had missed only 1 catch in the match.
