Pakistani pacer Wasim Akram has compared Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik with the current wicket-keeper and former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni after Pakistan’s match-winning innings against Afghanistan.
Earlier on Friday, Shoaib Malik played a crucial knock against Afghanistan and guided his team to a three-wicket win. Chasing a target of 258 runs, Malik scored an unbeaten 51-run knock even though Pakistan kept losing wickets at the other end.

Lauding Malik’s efforts, former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram took to Twitter and wrote, “Experience has no substitute… Shoaib Malik proved it against a spirited Afghanistan. Did a Dhoni like finish … when Malik faced a bowler, he had no expression on his face and that frustrates a bowler because he doesn’t know what to expect… wonderful knock @realshoaibmalik.”
