Former Indian batter Virender Sehwag has made a bold prediction about out-of-form batter Babar Azam saying that “players like him tend to bounce back quickly”.
The former Pakistan captain was dropped from the second Test against England due to his batting struggles.
However, Sehwag blamed selectors for Babar’s batting woes stating that their decisions were affecting him mentally.
“With expectations from Babar decreasing and his resignation from captaincy, it seems he has been more impacted mentally than in terms of technique,” he said.
“He [Babar] needs to stay mentally strong. He’s a talented player, and players like him tend to bounce back quickly,” Sehwag added.
Babar was sacked as Pakistan’s all-format captain after their below-part World Cup 2023 campaign.
He was then reinstated as their limited-overs captain after just a series of Shaheen Afridi leading Pakistan as their new T20I skipper in March this year before resigning from the post in October after another underwhelming campaign in the T20 World Cup.
