Over a decade after the tournament in query, Pakistani cricketer Saeed Ajmal has pop out with a rant that he deserved to be Guy of the Fit within the 3rd ODI between India and Pakistan that came about in January 2013. Ajmal claimed he must have gained the prize after serving to bowl India out for an extremely low ranking. Mahendra Singh Dhoni used to be named Guy of the Fit in that recreation. The tournament he used to be speaking about used to be performed on sixth January, 2013, and India ended up profitable by way of 10 runs.
Not directly hitting out at MS Dhoni, Ajmal stated, “I believe it used to be my unhealthy good fortune. I bowled India out for 175 (the real Indian ranking used to be 167) within the 3rd ODI – the one sequence I performed in India. We gained the 1st two suits, and I bowled outstandingly neatly in each. Within the 3rd ODI, I were given 5 wickets which remains to be my easiest ODI figures. What’s 175? However MS Dhoni, for scoring some 18 runs (Dhoni scored 36) and losing two catches, took away the Guy of the Fit award. It’s unfair. What’s the which means of a Guy of the Fit? An individual who has the most productive efficiency in a recreation must win it, proper? However since India gained the tournament, they gave Guy of the Fit award to Dhoni for losing a catch.” Ajmal used to be talking at Nadir Ali’s podcast launched on 1st July.
Ajmal and Nadir mentioned that he by no means gained any Guy of The Fit award regardless of being the “global’s no.1 ranked ODI and T20I bowler”. Apparently, the so-called info in opposition to Dhoni Ajmal tabled all over the podcast weren’t true. All the way through the tournament, Dhoni didn’t ranking 18, however made 36 runs. In a low-scoring recreation with bowlers dominating, that 36 proved to be the variation in spite of everything.
Additional, Dhoni didn’t leave out two, however one very tricky catch. Apparently, Dhoni took the catch that disregarded Ajmal after scoring only one at the scoreboard. He additionally stumped Umar Akmal as he marshaled his troops to limit Pakistan beneath the objective of 168.
Remembering every other tournament, Saeed Ajmal stated, “Even in opposition to South Africa, I as soon as disregarded 4 batsmen. I won’t have gained a Guy of the Fit award, however I undoubtedly gained the Participant of the Collection award in ODIs. I disregarded Hashim Amla within the remaining over when SA wanted ten runs to win in 12 balls. I were given him out 2d remaining. It used to be the first-ever Pakistan staff that gained an ODI sequence in South Africa. In each tournament, I gave match-winning performances all over that excursion and nonetheless didn’t win a unmarried Guy of The Fit award”.
