Babar Azam, the Pakistan white-ball captain, said he and wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan “have a different chemistry” when batting together.
The duo opened the batting for Pakistan in T20Is for a few years, but regularly bat with each other in other formats too as they have been the most consistent run-scorers for the national team.
“Yes, me and Rizwan, we have a different chemistry when we play for Pakistan,” Azam told Cricket Pakistan.
Azam and Rizwan were recently involved in the 2024 T20 World Cup, with the former making 122 runs in four matches at an average of 40.66 and a strike-rate of 101.66.
As for Rizwan, he finished with 110 runs in four games, which included a top score of 53 not out, at an average of 36.66 and a strike-rate of 90.90.
Pakistan lost to the United States of America and India before rebounding to defeat Canada and Ireland.
Even though they won those two games, the men in green weren’t able to book their spot in the Super Eights.
