Pakistan cricket team's batting coach Mohammad Yousuf on Thursday said that star batsman Babar Azam is currently playing exceptional cricket as a player and captain of his team. Azam is in great form in 2022. He is the world's number one batsman in the ODI and T20I formats, while he is ranked third in the Test rankings. Babar Azam has played 15 matches across all formats this year, scoring 1406 runs in 19 innings at an average of 78.11. His personal best score is 196 runs. He has scored five centuries and ten half-centuries this year.
In the press conference, Mohammad Yusuf said, "Babar Azam is showing everyone for the last two three years that he is a big player and performs well under pressure conditions. A player becomes big only when he is good under pressure. Performs. He is on his way to becoming great in the game. The way he is batting in all formats, that too with the responsibility of captaincy, is an achievement. Even the team responds well to him. As a player and as a captain, he is playing exceptional cricket."
Pakistan's first match in the Asia Cup 2022 is against the Indian team. This match will take place on 28 August in Dubai. Yousuf said that the Pakistani players had a very good practice session and the players worked hard despite the heat." It's hot and humid, but they're professionals. They practiced really hard. Of course, they're human, they'll feel the heat and the weakness, but they're enjoying it," he said. India and Pakistan met in the T20 World Cup in Dubai last year and India lost.
