There Are A Lot Of Similarities Between MS Dhoni And Shoaib Malik- Sania Mirza

One of the many endearing qualities of former Indian captain MS Dhoni was his ability to remain incredibly calm in the direst of situations.

Sania Mirza, Indian Tennis sensation, recently drew similarities between MS Dhoni and his husband, the former Pakistan captain and all-rounder, Shoaib Malik, adding that both cricketers have a lot of similarities as far as their demeanors are concerned. Interestingly, Shoaib Malik was the captain of the Pakistan side that lost to India in the inaugural T20 World Cup final in 2007.

”Dhoni is a person who reminds me of my husband Shoaib Malik in terms of personality. The behaviors of the two are so similar. Both are silent by default. Enjoy at the same time. Both are very calm on the field. There are a lot of similarities between Dhoni and Malik,” Saina Mirza told Sportskeeda.
