Sarfraz Ahmed Captaincy – Surprise For Many People

Sarfraz Ahmed, the best success story in years. Given ODI captaincy just 3 matches before Champions Trophy after losing series against England and Australia. Handed over a team consisting inexperienced and some non-performing players. Pakistan’s qualification in CT was doubted a month back when the team played against West Indies.

After first few defeats, Sarfraz’s captaincy was criticized by specific circles. He was judged on even petty things like scolding his team mates and being too emotional on the field, but they didn’t realize this fire inside was what Pakistan needed. The weakness they thought was actually the strength.

Pakistan entered Champions Trophy as the last team #8 and ended up as champions. The #8 team defeated number 1, 2 and 3 teams and created the history. The new captain along with his young team won first any ODI ICC cup after 25 years and did what big names could never do. Also defeated in India in any ICC event after 8 years.

Hail Captain. Thank you Sarfraz for making it possible and surprising world with your fire. When God writes your story, it has to be the best-seller. Alhamdulillah!
