According to Pakistan cricket legend Zaheer Abbas Babar Azam may be suffering from a serious case of ego or shyness because he refuses to listen to former cricket players who could help him fix his batting technical errors to find a better batting form. Zaheer Abbas who achieved 100 first class hundreds throughout his career stated that Babar should seek conversations with senior cricketers for help. Zaheer thinks Babar faces two possibilities – either he has an ego problem or he avoids approach to consult his seniors regarding his present condition. Zaheer observed that Pakistani and Indian cricketers frequently requested help from each other when they entered a batting slump.

“I think in 2016 Younis Khan spoke to Muhammad Azharuddin and went on to score a double hundred in England. I also recall how Azharuddin had sought guidance from me on India’s tour to Pakistan in 1989-90,” the batting artist said.
“He was struggling to find runs and I told him to change his batting grip. Saeed Anwar sought Sunil Gavaskar’s advice.” He noticed that Babar’s stance at the crease today is closer than usual, compared to his typically more open stance, leaving him with little time to adjust to the ball’s pace.

“I think because of this he is struggling to time his shots and is getting out early,” he added.
“Babar, you already have all the cricket shots. But to win more matches, you need to wait for the right bowler and the right moment. Don’t try to hit every ball – be patient and smart,” he added.
