  1. ‘Can see shades of MS Dhoni in Shikhar Dhawan’s captaincy,’ says Kamran Akmal Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal has applauded India batsman and the captain Shikhar Dhawan, saying that his calm and composed captaincy is similar to that of former India captain MS Dhoni.

Applauding Dhawan, Akmal said: “Shikhar Dhawan’s captaincy in the first T20I was really good. The bowling changes and field placings were impressive. Dhawan seems like a cool captain. In fact, I can seen shades of MS Dhoni in Dhawan’s calm and composed captaincy. He took excellent decisions under pressure and did not panic even after Sri Lanka got off to a quick start. To win by 38 runs after the Lankans were 20 for no loss after two overs was an excellent effort and Dhawan must get some credit for it. Of course, the bowlers were also brilliant."

  2. Meanwhile, the veteran Pakistan player also praised India’s bowling unit while defending a chasable total of 164, especially the performance of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who registered a bowling figures 4 for 22.

A target of 165 is very much attainable in today’s T20 cricket but India’s bowling was top-notch and Sri Lanka’s batting could not stand up to the challenge.”

  3. Meanwhile, after the 38-run win, skipper Shikhar Dhawan said that the team was confident of defending the beow-par total as they knew the spinners can do their job pretty well. But he also stated that they were 10-15 runs short of the par score. He also praised the batters as they recovered well after losing Prithvi Shaw off the very first ball of the match as well.
