‘I owe my current position to…’ – Babar Azam compliments former Pakistan captain for his achievements

In a recent live session on Twitter, Pakistan’s cricket star, Babar Azam, stated that winning the World Cup is his ultimate objective. The former skipper revealed his desire to be a member of a World Cup-winning squad, emphasising the importance of this aspiration in his cricketing career.

During an interactive session, Babar Azam was asked to compare the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Pakistan Super League (PSL), two well-known T20 competitions. Babar said firmly that the Pakistan Super League is the superior tournament.

Reflecting on Sarfaraz Ahmed’s impact, Babar Azam thanked the former captain for his guidance throughout his early career. He recognised Sarfaraz’s encouragement and support.

“Saifee bhai really admires my bats and always says, ‘It’s my bat; pick another one for the match. He has continuously backed us, and I owe my current position to Sarfaraz Ahmed,” he stated.

Babar Azam also reflected on the most crucial event of his career, describing the enormous feeling he felt when his name was selected for the Pakistan team for the first time.

When asked to choose his best innings in Test cricket, Babar Azam mentioned his amazing 196-run effort against Australia at home. This innings was critical in helping Pakistan salvage a draw from a hazardous situation. Babar Azam’s favourite batting partner is AB de Villiers, a great South African cricketer.
