Mohammad Yousuf credits MS Dhoni, Rahul Dravid for India’s rise, takes dig at Pakistan

Former Pakistan batter Mohammad Yousuf praised the development of Indian cricket while speaking on a YouTube podcast. Yousuf credited the Indian board's appointment of MS Dhoni as captain in 2007 and Rahul Dravid's work managing the Under-19 team and Centre of Excellence as pivotal factors behind India's long-term success, contrasting this with poor decision-making from Pakistan's cricket administration.

Yousuf highlighted that Pakistan has struggled to produce top-level talent since 2019, while naming India's Virat Kohli as the best white-ball player of the modern era. Based on his tenure as batting coach, Yousuf also criticized current Pakistan players for lacking the work ethic and willingness needed to learn new skills.
