Bangladesh cricketer Mahmudullah has showered praises over his 'inspiration' MS Dhoni and claimed that he is a big fan of the former Team India skipper.
Mahmudullah, who himself is Bangladesh's T20 captain, during his chat with Cricfrenzy claimed that he tries to learn from Dhoni by watching him during matches.
"I’m a huge fan of MS Dhoni, the way he controls himself. He also batted at five-six for the India team and whenever I sit idle I try to watch his innings, even watch live games of his. And try to learn how he composes himself in the game," he said.
The 34-year-old also said how he also wants to learn how to control the game like how Dhoni does it, despite being under pressure.
"It is not easy having 50 plus average in ODI cricket for so many matches and having a strike rate of 90 plus, it’s amazing and the way he controls the game till the last, similarly I also have to bat at five-six so I try to learn these things from him. He’s been a great influence in my cricket arena," he added.
Since India's semi-final exit from the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 against New Zealand in August last year, MSD hasn't featured for the Men In Blue.
During his break from cricket, the 38-year-old also served for the Indian Army too.
As far as cricket is concerned, the coronavirus outbreak has brought all sports activities to a halt with players practising social distancing and self-isolation during the pandemic.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the governments all around are urging people to stay at home.
As the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak continues to spread like wildfire in India, the central and state governments are respectively amping up all of their efforts to check potential contamination.
