Pakistani Skipper Babar Azam has revealed his favourite batter in an interview with former English captain Nasser Hussain. To our surprise, it isn’t Virat Kohli, who Babar has praised many times.
“To be honest, my role model is AB de Villiers. I love him, especially with the way he plays his shots. So, when I saw him batting on television, the very next day I tried to play similar shots in the nets and on the ground. I try my best to copy and play like AB de Villiers because he is my idol.”
“My father supported me a lot,” he said, adding that when he was a child, his father used to take him to the cricket ground. “He played a crucial role in my learning the game. He monitored my performance,” said Babar.
In the interview Babar also discussed Pakistan’s preparations ahead of their Test series with England.
