Fakhar Zaman, the Pakistan opener, said captain Babar Azam is such a good batsman that he even asked the bowlers what his weaknesses are.
He noted that Azam is capable of playing all the shots and protects his wicket at all costs, which makes it very tough to get him out.
The 28-year-old’s dedication to improving his batting has made him one of the top batsmen in the world as he keeps scoring runs in all three formats.
“We discuss with bowlers too: what are his weaknesses? He plays the flick, pull, cover drive, cut, everything,” Zaman was quoted as saying by Cricwick.
Pakistan recently beat Sri Lanka 2-0 in a two-match Test series and will now take on Afghanistan in a three-match ODI series, which will be held in Sri Lanka from August 22 to 26.
