Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Shreevats Goswami has compared Kane Williamson’s style of captaincy to the that of the legendary MS Dhoni calling the former calm and composed. Goswami added that the SRH dressing room is more like a ‘family’ and also spoke about Tom Moody’s influence as the coach of the team.

Bengal cricketer and former India U-19 team member Shreevats Goswami has been associated with the Indian Premier League for almost a decade now. Goswami has played for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first three seasons of the Indian Premier League. In the fourth edition of the league, Goswami was kept in the uncapped player pool and was signed by the Kolkata Knight Riders. However, having failed to make an impression that year he moved to the Rajasthan Royals the following season.

"The Bengal wicket-keeper was snapped up by the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise during the 2018 IPL auction last year. Goswami featured on six occasions for last year’s runner-ups and has gone on to compare franchise skipper Kane Williamson to world cup winning captain MS Dhoni.

"Kane is very calm, very composed. A lot like Dhoni bhai. Kane, last year, the way he led (the team) was very inspirational. This year he is struggling with injury and Bhuvi has come and led well as well. Bhuvi is also someone who is calm and composed," Goswami said in a recent interview with TOI.

Goswami, who has scored a total of 293 runs in 29 IPL matches, revealed that Hyderabad-based franchise is less like a team and more like a family. The 29-year-old added that coach Tom Moody has played an integral role in keeping the players together.

"The most important part of being part of SRH is that it's like family. The owners are very nice. The management is very nice. The coaching staff is excellent so you don't feel like you are away from your family. They treat you well and welcome you very warmly

"Ya absolutely. He has been welcomed like the rest of the players. Warner coming back, it was like Tom (Moody) has mentioned before - 'like he never left'. It's a good boost for us to have him (in the team). Can learn a lot from him. Any franchise would love to have a player like him,," Goswami added.
