Shoaib Akhtar, the former cricket star from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364 and Virender Sehwag.
Akhtar has written that Singh and Sehwag have never cared about personal records as they play with only one purpose and that is to win every game. The pacer asserts that it is because of such attitude that Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 became such
a formidable side.
The right-arm pacer holds true that it was the induction of young blood that revolutionised the Men in Blue. According to Shoaib, Sehwag, along with his opening partner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447 has taken some pressure off from the likes
of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229.
“Things changed when younger players like Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh arrived. These guys didn't play for records. They played to win. Our whole team gives Sehwag the credit for being the one to lead India's winning streak.
Gautam Gambhir and he have given India quick partnerships,” said Shoaib.
The pacer continued, “Before that, there was only http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607; the poor man carried the entire burden on his shoulders. With him, was Dravid who has a great technique but has never been a match-winner. With younger players, the Indian
team took the No 1 Test spot. That's the difference they have brought.”
The 36-year-old also lavished praise on former Indian skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 was lucky to take charge of team after he
stepped down. However, Akhtar holds great respect for Dhoni and says that he manages his resources well.
Akhtar in his book, has accused the former captain of Pakistani team, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292, and said that he had something against him and tried to wreck his career. The 36-year-old concludes that Wasim wanted someone else to play in place
of him.
Akhtar has also lashed out at the King of Bollywood, Shahrukh http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Modi-c76470 made him play for Kolkata Knight Riders
(KKR) for a fee which was below than what he anticipated.
