The former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan believe that the Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah Riyad’s captaincy skills is similar to the Indian legendary captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Pathan said,”When you win a match against one of the best teams in the world, it helps in boosting your confidence and Mahmudullah had shown great qualities of a captain including the changes he made during the match.”
“There was a hint of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in his captaincy as he also used part-time bowlers after the power play which is a strategy often used by Dhoni,” Pathan added.
India lost the first game in this ongoing Twenty-20 series against Bangladesh, but came back strongly and won second match.
Thats a big complement for the young captain.
