Pakistan Spinner Sajid Khan Calls MS Dhoni an Inspiring Leader
Pakistan’s off-spinner Sajid Khan recently named former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni as his favourite captain, lauding his “cool, calm, and successful” leadership style.
Known for his strategic mindset and composure under pressure, Dhoni’s captaincy has evidently influenced players beyond India, including Khan, who holds him as a model of effective leadership.
Sajid, currently 31 and playing for Pakistan, shared his thoughts during a television interview when asked about his inspirations in captaincy. He reflected on his own experience as a captain at various levels, including under-13 cricket, club matches, and first-class cricket. Khan openly acknowledged that Dhoni’s manner of leading, with a calm and balanced approach, is one he admires and strives to emulate.
Dhoni’s Influence on Sajid Khan’s Approach
Sajid explained that while being aggressive isn’t his natural captaincy style, he firmly believes in the power of strategy, a perspective he feels is shared by Dhoni.
Sajid’s admiration for Dhoni centres on the Indian legend’s skillful decision-making, which has earned him a reputation as one of cricket’s most strategic captains.
