Pakistan captain Babar Azam has revealed that he hits 600 to 700 balls every day in the nets.
Azam, who made the revelation in a video published by the ICC, is widely regarded as one of the best batsmen in all three formats of the game.
In the T20 World Cup, he broke the record for the most runs scored by a batsman in their maiden T20 World Cup appearance.

In the recent three-match T20 series against Bangladesh, he mustered 27 runs at an average of nine and a strike-rate of 67.50.
Pakistan will now play two Tests against Bangladesh, with the series beginning on Friday.
