Hussain on Error of Pakistan keeper in World Cup Clash Against England
The former captain of Team India, MS Dhoni, had his own style of doing everything on the cricket field. Be it batting, wicket-keeping, captaincy, fielding, or running between the wickets, there was a 'Dhoni' touch in every move of the legendary cricketer. Needless to say, his mannerisms became a part of his legacy. So much so that even a remote similarity takes the mind back to his glory days. That is exactly what happened to Nasser Hussain during a World Cup 2033 match between England and Pakistan at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday.
It took place during the 24th over of England's innings. The leg-spinner of Pakistan, Shadab Khan, just missed his line and slid one down the leg side to Ben Stokes, who went for a reverse sweep but could not make any connection. The ball spun inward and even foxed keeper Mohammad Rizwan. He tried to get his legs together to stop the ball, but he wasn't quick enough. The ball went through the gap between the legs of Rizwan and raced away to the boundary.
Hussain, who is the former England captain, quickly spotted the similarities between Rizwan's movements and Dhoni's. He said during commentary, "Rizwan tried a Dhoni by getting his legs together but failed to stop the ball.”
