There is no doubt that star Pakistan batter Babar Azam is among the very best in world cricket. Many would argue that his prowess with the bat is second to none, and the 28-year-old has more than earned it in recent years.
However, there is a preconceived notion that Babar Azam struggles against left-arm spin. With Sri Lanka’s Prabath Jayasuriya dismissing the star batter six times in seven innings, many came forward to question the 28-year-old’s ability to play against leg-arm spinners.
“Well if people are saying that he [Babar] is weak and he’s averaging fifty, I wouldn’t like to see him when he’s not weak. He’s a world-class player, it’s not a joke averaging fifty in international cricket, so I think those kind of things that people are saying it’s uncalled for,” Shamsi was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda.
At any given day any bowler can get any batsman out: Shamsi
“He’s obviously a class player and yeah at any given day any bowler can get any batsman out, and at any given day any batsman can make a hundred, so anybody that is playing at that level is very good, so I think we need to appreciate that,” Shamsi said.
