Former Pakistani captain Sarfaraz Ahmed praises Babar Azam as T20’s top batter and recommends him as an opener. Sarfaraz, speaking on a local TV channel, believes that Babar is a player who can anchor innings, provided he receives support from the other end. He thinks that any team with Babar as an opener can achieve a good total. Despite his consistent performances in multi-nation tournaments, Babar has faced criticism for his strike rate.
Sarfaraz, recognised as one of Pakistan’s most successful captains, suggests that Babar should improve his communication skills with players. He believes that good communication will make Babar’s players more confident, leading to better results. Sarfaraz’s advice to Babar is to continue improving as a captain, and he hopes that Babar will keep getting better.
However, Babar’s home season as captain last year was below par, with Pakistan losing Test series against Australia, England, and New Zealand, as well as T20I and ODI series against New Zealand. Despite these results, Sarfaraz remains confident in Babar’s abilities as a player and a leader.
In conclusion, Sarfaraz Ahmed rates Babar Azam as T20’s top batter and suggests him as an opener, believing that any team with him in this position can achieve a good total. He advises Babar to improve his communication skills as a captain, and he hopes that he will continue to get better
