Pakistan batsman Kamran Ghulam did wonders in the second test being played in Multan. Ghulam scored a brilliant century, he scored 118 runs in the first innings. During his century innings, Ghulam demonstrated four of his weapons which are a big threat to Babar Azam. Kamran Ghulam has those four skills in front of which Babar Azam probably lags far behind. Let us tell you what four things were most special in Kamran Ghulam's innings.

ability to attack as soon as possible

When Kamran Ghulam came to the crease, Pakistan was in trouble. Pakistan's 2 wickets had fallen. It was in these difficult times that Kamran Ghulam proved his mettle. This player showed a very positive game as soon as he arrived. The biggest thing is that he attacked the bowlers as soon as he came to the crease. This is one thing in which Babar Azam lags far behind. He does not attack as soon as he comes to the crease. Babar bowls with some caution and this is the time when bowlers can get him out. But Kamran Ghulam is quite different from this player.

Power to attack spinners

Another biggest plus point of Kamran Ghulam was that this player was seen attacking against the spinners. The Multan Test pitch was very dry. There were marks at many places on the pitch which were helping the spinners. Spinner Jack Leach took the first two wickets of Pakistan. But Kamran Ghulam did not let the spinners dominate him. This player played both Bashir and Leach well and also showed good defensive technique against them.

performance of slog sweep

Kamran Ghulam performed an amazing slog sweep in the first innings of Multan Test. This player also scored a century using this shot. This shot is played only by the player who is fearless. Ghulam also played this shot on a personal score of 98 runs, which means clearly that this player is adept at playing this shot. Slog sweep Babar Azam is not seen playing. Even Virat Kohli is able to use this shot sparingly. In Test cricket, this shot is very useful to spoil the line length of the spinners.

Skill of playing in third man area

Kamran Ghulam scored a lot of runs in the third man area in his century. This shot can be played only by a player who has the skill of playing the ball late. England captain Ben Stokes tried hard to trouble Kamran Ghulam with the balls going outside the off stump but he could not get Kamran out. Kamran was continuously playing the ball in the third man area after covering his fourth stump. Stokes also got upset after seeing this. It is said in Test cricket that a batsman who knows his fourth stump can play very long innings, Kamran Ghulam also did the same in his debut Test innings.
