5 reasons why Sarfraz Ahmed can be good ODI captain for Pakistan

#4 Thrives under responsibility

Sarfraz Ahmed scored a scintillating hundred at Lords last year under pressure

In these modern days, whole cricketing world is experiencing two extraordinary captains, Kohli and Smith, leading their respective sides from the front. It is the added responsibility of captaincy which is bringing the best out of them.

Sarfraz too relishes to take over the job of scoring runs when his side is in dire straits. The best example is the second ODI at Lords against England in 2016. Pakistan, batting first, were three down for just 2 runs and Sarfraz scored a brilliant century to get his team to a respectable total of 251.

Though the total was not enough to beat England, the century reflected his character and ability to thrive under extreme pressure. Who knows, the extra responsibility of leading the side might bring out the best in him across all facets of the game.
