Former Pakistan player Danish Kaneria believes that the current Team India, as well as the Chennai Super Kings team, are following the footsteps of the veteran captain, MS Dhoni. And, Kaneria stated that he was impressed with the way Deepak Chahar paced up his innings and took India home in the second ODI against Sri Lanka as well.

Danish Kaneria also applauded the way Ravichandran Ashwin bowled in Australia and feels that MS Dhoni has played a huge role behind all these events. While speaking on his YouTube channel, Danish Kaneria has explained why MS Dhoni’s legacy will stay there for a long time as well.

“The legacy that MS Dhoni will leave for India, as well as CSK, will remain for a long time. The way Ravichandran Ashwin has performed in Australia, the way Deepak Chahar has performed of late, one understands that they have adapted to the requirements of the team and are following it. How to take a game deep, how to win a game when the team seems to be down and out, it is all Dhoni’s legacy,” Danish Kaneria stated.

While talking about the Pakistan team, he said that there are former players like Inzamam-ul-Haq, Wasim Akram and a few who have also achieved great feats and have left their legacy. But, the former leg-spinner Danish Kaneria feels that the current team have failed to follow the legacy left by the legends as well. However, he wants Pakistan to play fearlessly and not give up till the end of the game as well.

“Pakistan are just not showing consistency in their performances. Look at India’s tail and look at our tail. Even our past cricketers have left a legacy but this team hasn’t adapted to it. Pakistan are playing cricket like cowards. A team becomes big when it respects and follows the senior’s footmarks. While India has done it, Pakistan unfortunately hasn’t,” Danish Kaneria concluded.
