Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir has severely criticized Pakistan team captain Babar Azam and said that the team plays as the captain plays.
While criticizing the captain Babar Azam, the former Indian cricketer said that Babar Azam has to change his personality, game, and mindset.
Gautam Gambhir said that Pakistan’s attacking batsmen have a history, including Shahid Afridi, Imran Nazir, Saeed Anwar, and Aamir Sohail, but all three of Pakistan’s current top-order batsmen bat in the same style.
He added that the captain has to take responsibility for who bats at number 3. “No need to look at the statistics, you can become Pakistan’s highest run-scoring batsman,” he maintained.
Gautam Gambhir gave the example of other former players of Pakistan and India for Babar and said that Wasim Akram took 3 wickets in the final of the World Cup 1992, he did not take 5 wickets but even today everyone remembers him.
It is remembered that they won the World Cup, but no one remembers Mahela Jayawardene’s century in the 2011 World Cup final, everyone remembers that India won the match, and the team plays as the captain plays.
He further said that both Rohit and Babar scored half-centuries in the India-Pakistan match, no one could score a century, one scored 50 runs and one scored 80 runs, but the approach was different, if the captain will be defensive, then the team will also be. “Defensively, you can’t tell 10 other players in the room to play positive and I’m going to play one end,” he said.
