Former Pakistani cricketer Younus Khan said- Babar should learn from Kohli

Former Pakistani cricketer Younus Khan has advised Babar Azam to learn from Virat Kohli. 46-year-old Younus said- 'Babar should focus on his game instead of running after captaincy. He needs to learn from Virat Kohli.'

Younus further said- 'If Babar and other top order batsmen start performing well, then the team will be able to give better results...our players talk more than they play.' Babar Azam's form is poor. He has not been able to score a single half-century in the last 16 innings. According to Younus, Babar Azam was made the captain of the team in 2019 because he was the best batsman in the team at that time. He needs to focus on the game again.

Captaincy is a small thing, performance matters - Younus

Younus Khan said, Babar has achieved a lot at a young age, but he needs to know what he wants to do next. Captaincy is a small thing, performance matters. Look at Virat Kohli, he decided to leave captaincy on his own terms and now he is breaking records around the world. This shows that the thought of playing for the country should come first. If there is any energy left, then play for yourself.

"Keep focus on cricket"

Babar Azam failed to play a big innings during the ODI World Cup 2023. Under his captaincy, the Pakistan team was eliminated from the league stage itself. Also, in the T20 World Cup 2024, the team was eliminated from the group stage and was defeated by a smaller team like America. Recently, even during the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, Babar Azam did not score any runs. He scored 64 runs in four innings.

Younus Khan said during an event in Pakistan, 'If Babar and other players do well on the field, the result will be visible to everyone. I have seen that our players talk more than performance.'
