A Pakistani cricket fan and journalist who made the comparison between Pakistani wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan and former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has come under fire from Harbhajan Singh.
Former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has taken a go at Pakistani cricket fan and journalist Farid Khan for wondering which former captain of India, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and Pakistani wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan is superior. Farid Khan, who describes himself as having worked with the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024, T10 Global League, Pakistan Super League, and Pakistan Cricket Board, compared Rizwan to the former Indian great in a tweet on X, which was once Twitter.
Is it Mohammad Rizwan or MS Dhoni? Who is superior? Farid, who describes himself as Pakistan’s most interesting sports content maker on X, added, “Tell me the truth.
But this analogy infuriated Harbhajan, who questioned Farid, “What r u (sic) smoking nowadays???”
He called the comparison a ridiculous question, asserting that Dhoni remains the best player in the world of cricket even now and that no one can match him behind the stumps.
“What are you smoking these days? What a stupid thing to ask. “Bhaiyo isko batao,” as his brothers would say. DHONI bhut aage hai RIZWAN se, meaning Rizwan is far behind Dhoni. Rizwan will provide you with an honest response even if you ask him about it. Although Rizwan is a fantastic player who always plays with intent, this analogy is inaccurate, in my opinion. DHONI No. 1 in the world of cricket even now. “Nobody does it better than him behind stumps,” Harbhajan commented on the post.
Dhoni has claimed 256 catches and 38 stumpings in 90 Test matches, while in 350 One-Day International matches, he has grabbed 321 catches and made 123 stumpings. Dhoni amassed 4,876 runs at an average of 38.09 in 90 Test matches, including six hundreds and thirty-three fifties.
In contrast, Rizwan has made three stumpings and taken 78 catches in 30 Test matches, while he has taken 76 catches and made three stumpings in 74 ODIs. Rizwan amassed 1616 runs at a batting average of 40.4 in 30 Test matches, including two hundreds and nine fifties.
