KARACHI: Pakistan’s T20 captain Shahid Afridi recently came to the rescue of his much criticised Indian friend Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Apparently, Shahid Afridi is “not happy” in the manner the Indian ODI skipper Dhoni is being targeted after his team’s recent series loss to Bangladesh and has voiced his concern.
“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,” Afridi said during an interaction.
Afridi maintained that he did not mean that one should not analyse the present performance of a leader or a player but thinks that while criticising a hero, one shall not forget 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,” said Afridi.
