In a recent interview with Cricbuzz, star Afghanistan batsman, Mohammad Shahzad has said that he can even sacrifice his sleep to watch MS Dhoni's batting. ACB has elected India as their opponent for maiden Test. Both the nations have good, thriving relations between them and bond among them. Every Afghanistan player is excited to represent their nation against India at the Chinnaswamy stadium.

The historic Test between India and Afghanistan will be played on June 14 at the Chinnaswamy cricket ground to mark the entrance of 12th team to get the Test status. Ireland was the eleventh team to play the longest format of the game. Pakistan had beaten them in the first Test by 5 wickets.

The fiery wicket-keeper batsman is an admirer of MS Dhoni and his favourite shot of Dhoni is the 'Helicopter Shot'. In the first half of the video, Shahzad told Cricbuzz after food, he is fond of sleeping "I cannot avoid two things. First one is sleeping, I cannot sacrifice it at all and second one is food. These are two (dear) things which I cannot take a chance on," Shahzad said.

Shahzad had a positive attitude when he was asked if he would stay awake to watch MS Dhoni batting, he added, "I will drink some water for some time and try to stay awake," was his initial response. Then he also narrated an instance where he waited for Dhoni's innings to get over while resuming his normal life. "There was a time when India were playing a final in the West Indies. Dhoni was batting at the end of innings and some 15 odd runs were required in the last over."

"It was Ramzan at that time as well. Around 3 to 4 minutes were left for Iftaar and food was in front of me. It is said at that time whatever is asked from Allah he grants us," he added."Dhoni was unfit for a couple of games earlier and was only playing the final against Sri Lanka. 15 were needed off the last over. I prayed to Allah that India win this match and Dhoni finishes the match. So, I had prayed and delayed my food for a while then. So, I can delay sleep as well," Shahzad concluded.

After being asked about his relations with Indian players and especially MS Dhoni, Mohammad Shehzad had told PTI in an interview earlier "I have played against India three-four times and after the match gets over, I have dropped in at Dhoni's room and chatted for hours. He usually asks me 'what's happening in Afghanistan' and at my home. We don't tend to talk a lot about wicket-keeping and batting, it is just regular stuff about life. His room is always open for a chat but yes, it is tough to reach him on his mobile number."
