“We don’t plan anything against only one player” – Babar Azam
During a recent press briefing, Pakistan captain Babar Azam was questioned about the team’s strategy for tackling Virat Kohli in the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup match against India. Babar disclosed that they typically focus on strategies for the entire team rather than individual players.Β
“As a team, you always plan against different teams and according to their strengths. We don’t plan anything against only one player. And We plan for all 11 players. We don’t know much about the conditions in New York and we will plan accordingly. He [Virat Kohli] is one of the best players and we will plan against him as well,” Babar said.
Regarding the appointment of Gary Kirsten as the new head coach for Pakistan’s white-ball teams, Babar remarked:Β
“He [Gary Kirsten] was already working, and then PCB offered him the job, which he accepted. He is very enthusiastic about our discussions and is making every effort to join the team as soon as possible. However, he stays in touch daily, receiving reports about what we are doing and how we are planning things.”
