New Delhi, Dec 30:
Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan today praised Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his heroic innings of 113 in the first ODI against Pakistan in Chennai and said it was one of best knocks under pressure.
Coming out in the 10th over when India were down in the dumps at 29 for five, Dhoni single-handedly took India’s total to 227 for six with an unbeaten knock of 113 from 125 balls though his side lost the match by six wickets.
“I think he played really well and in fact it was an exceptional innings under pressure. But for his knock, this match would have been over in two-three hours,” Imran said.
Imran also praised rookie Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his fine show today and in the earlier Twenty20 International series. (PTI)
