Pakistan sensation Shahnawaz Dahani has said that it was a dream moment for him to meet MS Dhoni during the T20 World Cup 2021 and explained the way the legend made some valuable points to learn from. He also revealed his aspirations to meet England pacer Jofra Archer.

Dahani bowled an amazing spell in the Qualifier game against Lahore Qalandars and picked up three wickets for just 19 to help his side stage a big victory for the Multan Sultans in the ongoing PSL 2022. The right-arm fast bowler has been part of the international setup as well and he has played two T20 internationals for Pakistan in 2021.

Meanwhile, Archer had got a breakthrough into IPL with his excellent stint in PSL in 2018 and he has grown into one of the best fast bowlers in international cricket at the moment. The right-arm pacer is out of action for a long time now with his elbow injury and will miss the upcoming edition of IPL 2022 as well.

Dahani recalls his interaction with MS Dhoni

Dahani noted that he had followed former New Zealand speedster Shane Bond in the past and is currently a big follower of Archer whom he wanted to meet soon.

“I used to follow New Zealand’s Shane Bond and wanted to become a pacer with fast speed just like him but after his retirement, I started to follow England’s Jofra Archer and my wish is to meet him soon,” Dahani told in an exclusive interview with Cricket Pakistan.

“It will take a lot of time for me to explain the level of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Meeting him was a dream come true and I can’t forget that moment. His words were quite beneficial as he told me about life, how to live life, respecting the elders. He told that there will be bad and good days in cricket but you have to embrace it and stay dedicated to the game you love the most.”

Dahani was delighted to be part of the Multan Sultans’ family as they have a stellar run in the season with just one loss in ten league games and are into the finals of PSL 2022 already.

“Our environment in the team is just like a family. Our captain is cool and kind. We have all the freedom from him to execute our plans and a player performs when he is provided freedom and the inside fear vanishes away,” he added.
