Legendary Pakistan cricketer Zaheer Abbas believes that Babar Azam is either egoistic or very shy, who also consults former players, who can probably help to bring back the technical flaws in their batting and bring them back. Zaheer, who has scored 100 first class centuries in his career, said that Babur needs to talk and talk to his seniors. “I think either Babur has an ego issue or is very shy in taking advice from his superiors to overcome his current situation,” Zaheer said. Zaheer said that there were many examples where Pakistani and Indian players had sought advice from each other while passing a poor patches.
“I think Unis Khan spoke to Muhammad Azharuddin in 2016 and went to England to score a double hundred. I also remember how Azharuddin sought me guidance on a tour of India for Pakistan in 1989-90.”
“He was struggling to find runs and I asked him to change his batting hold. Saeed Anwar asked for the advice of Sunil Gavaskar.” He felt that Babur’s stance on the crease today is closer to a more open trend today, and he has very little time to adjust the speed of the ball.
“I think he is struggling for his shots because of this,” he said.
Babur, who is a major batsman of Pakistan in all the formats, has been going through some patch for the last few months and his last international came back against Nepal in the Asia Cup in 2023.
Even in the ongoing Pakistan Super League, Babur has been rejected twice cheaply, leading by Peshawar Zalmi.
Inzamam, who is also with Peshawar Zalmi, said that every top batsman goes through a rough time in his career.
He remembered how he thought of retiring himself after the 2003 World Cup, but Saeed Anwar asked to give up.
He said, “In the Multan test against Bangladesh, a hundred changed it for me.”
Inzamam felt that a batsman was passing through a mental block; He lost all the wrong shots and lost patience quickly.
He said that the key to ending more matches lies in targeting the right bowlers at the right time.
He said, “Babur, you already have all cricket shots. But to win more matches, you need to wait for the right bowler and the right moment. Don’t try to hit every ball – be patient and be smart,” he said.
