Herschelle Gibbs, a former South African opener known for his great batting skills in his prime, took to Twitter and suggested how Babar Azam could improve his batting average.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been the stunner of all eyes until recently when he was in the middle or purple spot in white ball cricket and had many good results in consecutive games. Most of these came on Pakistani soil and this led to many former cricketers demanding that he be included in the list of top international batsmen. Its ranking across all formats is also very high.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam is currently arguably the best batsman of any format in world cricket, but the 27-year-old had a poor Asian Cup where he hit just 68 runs in six innings.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been the stunner of all eyes until recently when he was in the middle or purple spot in white ball cricket and had many good results in consecutive games. Most of these came on Pakistani soil and this led to many former cricketers demanding that he be included in the list of top international batsmen. Its ranking across all formats is also very high.
But that great form vanished completely when Babar took the field in Dubai and Sharjah to play at the Asian Cup. He led his team to the finals, but runs just wouldn't come off his racquet.
Although Babar's form isn't a big concern for Pakistan as the captain is a class, his batting average in T20 cricket could certainly be improved.
Herschelle Gibbs, a former South African opener known for his great batting skills in his prime, took to Twitter and suggested how Babar Azam could improve his batting average.
"As Babar adds another attacking option or two to his game, his hit rate will improve and be even more effective," Gibbs wrote.
