Asif Ali gun shot
In Pakistan's Super 12, Group 2 match against Afghanistan in Dubai on Friday, Asif Ali celebrated in the style of MS Dhoni. He maintained restraint despite batting in difficult conditions when the required rate was already above 10. Pakistan's five wickets sealed the victory. And after scoring the winning run with a six, Asif Ali did a gun-shot celebration, as Dhoni had done many times in his career. Yes, the same gun celebration that Dhoni did after scoring a century against Sri Lanka in Jaipur in 2005.
Comparison with Dhoni
Even before Haidari's tweet, this photo of Asif was going viral on social media. People remembered the old look of MS Dhoni when they saw Asif Ali's gunshot celebration. Dhoni had scored a century against Sri Lanka in Jaipur in 2005 in the same manner. Many Twitter users have tweeted photos of Dhoni and Asif together.
Apart from the tweets of the Afghan ambassador, some people criticized Asif but many supported him. Abdul Ghaffar, a sports journalist for Pakistan's Dawn newspaper, wrote in reply to Haidari that he should stay away from sports and politics. "Dhoni had scored a century against Sri Lanka in a similar manner but Sri Lanka had a brain and was playing cricket in good spirits," he wrote. Don't combine sports and politics
Fans immediately understood the similarities between Asif's celebration and Dhoni's 16-year-old Sri Lanka ODI against India III 16 years ago. Dhoni scored 183 not out - his highest score in ODI cricket. With 23 balls to spare, India reached the target of 299 runs. Asif did not score a century but the way he batted, he will get there soon. He immediately made a 'gun' using the bat and celebrated Pakistan's victory.
