Younis Khan on Babar Azam: Babar Azam is probably going through the worst phase of his cricketing career at present, because before this he has never been seen struggling so much to regain form. Babar, who made a name in the early stages of his career, is currently looking flop in batting as well as captaincy. Seeing his poor performance, former veteran batsman of the team Younus Khan said that our players talk more than performance. Apart from this, he also advised Babar to learn from Virat Kohli.
Speaking at an event, Younus Khan said, “I have only one advice for Babar that he should focus on his cricket. He should improve his performance. Babar Azam was made the captain because he was the best player in the team at that time. I was there when it was decided that the best player in the team should become the captain.”
He further said, “If Babar and the top players deliver on the field, then the result will be clear for everyone. I have noticed that our players talk more than performance.”
Advice given to learn from Kohli
Then Younus Khan advised Babar to learn from Virat Kohli. How Kohli gave more importance to performance than captaincy. The Pakistani legend said, “He (Babar Azam) achieved a lot at a young age, but he needs to know what he wants to do in the future. Captaincy is a small thing, performance matters. Look at Virat Kohli. He himself decided to step down from captaincy and now he is breaking records all over the world. This shows that playing for the country should be a priority. If there is any energy left, then play for yourself.”
