Babar worked on his strike rate – Misbah Ul Haq

While previewing the upcoming India vs Pakistan clash on Star Sports' Press Room show, Misbah-ul-Haq answered questions on Babar Azam's T20 strike rate.

Misbah said, 'External noise affects you in some way or the other. However, great players who are mentally strong take inspiration from these things. We have seen this in Ireland. Where Babar Azam worked on his strike rate. The hope is that he will bat like this. Actually the team needed this kind of innings. If the situation demands an anchor role then he can play the role of an anchor.

Misbah-ul-Haq further said, 'Potentially you have to keep yourself at that level that you can reach a strike rate of 160-170 or 200. If my team needs 200 runs and I play with a strike rate of 130 while others play aggressively, then this should not happen. This will be an important thing for Babar Azam.

Let us tell you that Babar Azam has silenced those critics who constantly question his strike rate by blasting with the bat in the third match against Ireland. Babar batted at a strike rate of 178.57 in the match. The Pakistani team and their fans would like Babar to continue batting in the same style and play solid innings in the upcoming T20 World Cup as well.
