Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir showered praise on the extraordinary talent of Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam. Gambhir exuded confidence in Babar’s capability to ignite the forthcoming World Cup with his exceptional skills.
During a discussion on Star Sports, Gambhir underscored Babar’s unique talent and his effortless style of play. He stressed that while there are prominent players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Joe Root, and David Warner in the mix, Babar’s caliber stands unrivaled.
“Babar Azam possesses all the qualities to light up this World Cup. I’ve witnessed very few players who seem to have an abundance of time while at the crease. While there are exceptional talents like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Joe Root, and David Warner, Babar Azam exhibits a unique level of quality,” commented Gambhir.
