New Delhi: In the high-voltage India vs Pakistan ICC Men’s T20 World Cup match, India suffered a defeat against Pakistan for the first time in a World Cup on Sunday. The Men in Green beat India by 10 wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. After the match, scenes and videos of Pakistani cricketers interacting with Indian players and mentor Mahendra Singh Dhoni had gone viral on social media.
Pakistan’s young fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani posted a picture on social media with Team India’s mentor MS Dhoni. The picture is taken after the India vs Pakistan match. Dahani was not a part of Pakistan’s playing XI against India, but he was with the team in their practice session.
Sharing the photo with Dhoni, Dahani wrote in the caption, ‘Kya Raat thi, the joy of Pakistan’s victory and the joy of meeting the player of my dreams, MS Dhoni, cannot be forgotten.

Earlier, Dahani had met Dhoni before the India-Pakistan match but from a distance. A Pakistani journalist posted a video of a conversation between MS Dhoni and Shahnawaz Dhani on Twitter. Dahani, an ardent fan who was excited to meet his hero, called Dhoni from afar and said, “You are Dhoni, I am Dahani.”
Dhoni, who retired from international cricket after the 50-over World Cup, is currently in the national team for the T20 World Cup as a mentor. Dhoni was seen spending a lot of time with the players of Team India during his preparations. India has to play its next match in the tournament against New Zealand on 31 October.
