World Twenty20: Not Moin Khan or Rashid Latif but MS Dhoni is Pakistan keeper Sarfraz Ahmed's idol

New Delhi: Pakistan's wicketkeeper-batsman Sarfraz Ahmed on Sunday revealed that he idolizes Indian skipper MS Dhoni.

"I follow him a lot. The way he's making a difference with wicket-keeping and batting, I try to learn a lot from him. He's a very good cricketer for India, and I idolise him.

Hope I too will be able to finish the match like him," Sarfraz told reporters in Kolkata.

It is quite surprising that Ahmed wants to emulate Dhoni instead of some of Pakistan cricket's great wicketkeeper-batsmen like Moin Khan and Rashid Latif.

Having impressed both with the bat and as a wicketkeeper, Sarfraz wants to be an utility player like the star Indian skipper.

"It's great to be here. About my batting order, I play according to my team's need, be it up or lower down the order.

I've been doing well," said the Pakistani U-19 World Cup winning skipper.

However, Sarfraz rued their forgettable outing at Asia Cup but said they've plugged the loopholes and hoped to make an impact in the World Twenty20.
