“I take inspiration from MS Dhoni as a captain’: Pakistan Women’s team skipper praises Dhoni

Pakistan women’s cricket team captain Fatima Sana drew the attention all of social media and fans on herself after sharing her thoughts about the legendary Indian captain and the greatest of all time, MS Dhoni.

Fatima Sana is currently preparing to lead her team to the 50-over World Cup later this month. The Women’s World Cup is scheduled for September 30. Co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka with Pakistan. All the games will be played under the following contract of BCCI and PCB.

“It is natural to be a little nervous initially when captaining in a big tournament like the World Cup, but I take inspiration from Mahendra Singh Dhoni as a captain,” Fatima told PTI Bhasha in an interview ahead of the World Cup.

“I have seen his matches as India and CSK captain. His on-field decision-making, calmness and the way he backs his players, there is a lot to learn from that. When I got the captaincy, I thought that I have to become like Dhoni. I also watched his interviews and got to learn a lot,” she added.

Fatima Sana also shared about his ‘How much this tournament and game matter to their team’. ”This time, the jinx will definitely be broken because the young players know how important this tournament is for Pakistan women’s cricket. We will not think about the past. My goal is to take the team to the semifinals,” she said.

”In Pakistan, girls have started playing cricket in schools and international matches are being telecast live. ICC has also taken a good initiative by increasing the prize money for the Women’s World Cup, which will inspire budding players in Pakistan. But there is still a barrier which we have to break through this tournament,” she added.
