Former Pakistan cricketer Younus Khan has advised Babar Azam to learn from Virat Kohli. 46-year-old Yunus said- Babar, instead of running after the captaincy, focus on your game. He needs to learn from Virat Kohli.
Younis added – ‘If Babar and other top-order batsmen start performing well, the team can produce better results… Our players play less and talk more.’ Babar Azam’s form is poor. In the last 16 innings, he has not scored a single half-century. According to Younis, Babar Azam was made the team captain in 2019 because he was the best batsman in the team at that time. He has to focus on the game again.
Captaincy is a small thing, performance is important – Younis
Yunus Khan said, Babar has achieved a lot at a young age, but he needs to know what to do next. Captain is a small thing, performance is important. Look at Virat Kohli, he decided to quit captaincy on his own terms and is now breaking records around the world. This shows that playing for the country should be the first thought. If you have energy left, play for yourself.
“Focus on Cricket”
Babar Azam could not make a big knock in ODI World Cup 2023. Under his leadership, Pakistan team was eliminated from the league stage itself. Also in the 2024 T20 World Cup, the team was eliminated from the group stage and lost to a small team like USA. Recently, Babar Azam did not get runs from his bat even in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh. He scored 64 runs in four innings.
During an event in Pakistan, Younis Khan said, ‘If Babar and other players perform well on the field, everyone will see the result. I have seen that our players speak louder than performance.
