According to former Pakistani captain Shahid Afridi, Babar Azam needs a 140-strike-rate opener to go alongside him.
“Babar is somewhat of my younger brother. In an exclusive interview with Sports Yaari, Afridi stated, “I have never criticized Babar; Babar is the best player in the world, but in T20 cricket, you have to enhance your strike rate.
Babar, in Afridi’s opinion, requires an opening batting partner who can bat at a strike rate higher than 140.
He feels that the just finished PSL has produced individuals who can work in that capacity with Babar.
“In my view, it would be better if Babar had a partner who could accelerate. Babar will start at opening for my side and bat all 20 overs if I were the captain “Sarfaraz said
“My team would easily score 170 or 180 runs if Babar were to score 80 runs for me at one end. Other batters can play around him since he is an anchor “Added he.
