‘Khelte kam, bolte zyada hain’: Pakistan great slams Babar Azam, makes massive comment on Virat Kohli | Cricket News – Times of India

Date:

NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan captain Younis Khan has criticised star batter Babar Azam and other players for prioritizing personal gains over team goals. Babar’s recent form and leadership have drawn harsh criticism from former players, as he hasn’t scored a half-century in his last 16 Test innings.
Younis expressed his disappointment, stating, “If Babar and other top players deliver on the field, then results will be clear to everyone.Humare players khelte kam, bolte zyada hai. (I have observed that our players tend to talk more than they perform).”
The former captain also advised Babar to learn from Virat Kohli’s example, highlighting how the India star batter relinquished his captaincy to focus more on his batting.
“Look at Virat Kohli. He chose to step down from captaincy on his own terms, and now he’s breaking records worldwide. This shows that playing for the country should be the priority. If there’s any energy left, then play for yourself,” Younis suggested.
Younis further emphasized the importance of Babar’s role as a captain and his need to focus on his performance.

He reminded Babar that he was made the captain because he was the best player at the time and that there are high expectations from him.
Younis advised Babar to prioritise his fitness and work ethic, as opportunities like these are rare.
Meanwhile, Virat is currently in Chennai for the opening Test of the two-match series against Bangladesh, starting September 19, with the second Test scheduled to be played in Kanpur from September 27.
