Dhoni is the 'Obama' of cricket, says Praveen Kumar
If being inspiring is a measure of leadership skills then Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is comparable only to charismatic American President Barack Obama, feels all-rounder Praveen Kumar.
"He is the Obama of cricket," was Praveen's reply when asked what makes Dhoni a special captain.
Lauded for being cool and composed in trying match situations, throwing his weight behind players he believes in and for trying the unconventional, Dhoni's leadership has rarely been criticised since he took over in 2007.
Obama, who became the first black President of the United States, is widely seen as an inspirational leader and Praveen considers Dhoni no less influential as far as Indian cricket is concerned.
The 24-year-old bowling all-rounder, who will be playing in his first World Cup, is naturally excited although there are a few butterflies in his tummy.
"I am living a dream right now.
I was hit by a ball while playing junior cricket. The police asked them to make a compromise and when the man refused to do so, he started receiving death threats. In an interview, Shantanu said,
I am not taking legal action because nation’s pride is associated with Praveen as he represent the country in cricket.”
