‘Babar used bowlers at right time’ Akram gives full marks to captaincy

KARACHI: Pakistan’s former speedster Wasim Akram appreciated Babar Azam for peaking at the right time with his captaincy mindset in their T20 World Cup match against India.

While talking to the media here at a local event, Akram said Babar used bowlers rightly which benefitted the team.

“Babar utilized his bowlers so well and it helped Pakistan take control of the Indian batting line,” he said.

Akram once again emphasized toss will play an important role throughout the event. “India was favorite to win but after the toss, the game was fifty-fifty. In the UAE, toss plays a crucial role. Pakistan must be planning now about tackling the situation after losing the toss,” he maintained.

The cricketer-turned-analyst advised the Pakistan team to now focus on the next games as the whole world cup is left. “Celebrations should be over now and the team must focus on their next game. There is a long way to go for them and I hope they continue the momentum ahead,” he concluded.

‘Have never seen a Pakistani team playing like this’ Harbhajan Singh

KARACHI: Former Indian international cricketer Harbhajan Singh praised the Pakistan team for outplaying India by 10 wickets to win their first-ever match against arch-rivals in T20 World Cup. 

Speaking to Indian tv, Harbhajan said he had never seen such a performance by the Pakistan team against India.

“I have never seen a Pakistan team playing like they did yesterday. They were phenomenal and outclassed India in all three departments,” the Indian cricketer-cum-analyst said.

Harbhajan applauded Pakistani openers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan for making it a one-sided contest for their team.

“Babar and Rizwan were on the mark. They batted brilliantly and played proper cricketing shots throughout. Especially Babar, he is exceptional and leading Pakistan from the front,” he maintained.

Meanwhile, Harbhajan suggested some changes to the Indian team for upcoming matches. “I think they should bring in Ishan Kishan at the top-order, pushing KL Rahul at number 4. Bhuvneshwar Kumar should be out,” he was quoted saying.
