I think it's his attitude. I think that's what I am looking for, a born winner. He has the mindset needed to survive top level. Not saying others don't in this team, but he stands out tall somehow.

Also, I have been a fan of his batting, think he has the power and tremendous hand speed. He will get better and better. I am also aware that he might not have shown it this world cup his batting skills, but from what I have seen of him batting I think he is what I am looking for in the middle order. We need a good middle order batsman maybe that's why too.
There was something about Akbar Ali which I had picked up on ages ago, now the whole world is singing his praise, but I have seen Bangladeshi cricket for a long time to know what actually clicks. This guy does click and boy am I excited about his prospects.

He will be a fantastic leader, I think he is the best cricketer out of the pack. It is just not skills in the middle that makes a cricketer in my opinion, it is skills combined with mental fortitude and this guy has that.
