LAHORE – Pakistan star batter Babar Azam admitted that despite working hard and feeling confident, things do not always go according to plan.
Speaking alongside captain Salman Ali Agha after Pakistan’s T20 series victory against South Africa, Babar shared insights into his mindset and recent form. He said his approach was to play cautiously until reaching 40 runs, explaining, “It was difficult to face spinners in the middle overs, so I decided to play them carefully and attack only when the ball was in my range — and it finally came.”
