‘There’s dhulai and there’s maha dhulai…’: Former Pakistan star Heavily praised Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma for 100+ run partnership

When Pakistan were batting, Sahibzada Farhan was the top-scorer, who added 58 runs on the board along with a gun-firing celebration. This half-century was of massive help in the team posting a score of 171/5 in their 20 overs. Speaking about the clash, former PAK spinner Danish Kaneria stated that the Indian openers were ruthless in their approach.

“Sahibzada Farhan signalled an AK-47, but then Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma launched a BrahMos of their own with the bat – and Sharma even followed it with a flying kiss. That’s how you do it. The Indian openers’ counterattack was so destructive that Pakistan players were left bamboozled. There’s ‘dhulai’ and then there’s ‘maha dhulai’. This was the latter,” Kaneria told IANS on Monday.

“When you have players like Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill as openers, even 200 can look like a small total against them on such a wicket. Both are class players,” he further added
