“The way we planned, we couldn’t finish it that way.” – Babar Azam
Speaking of the video, Babar Azam was seen riding a superbike in highspeed. Seeing that, some fans also requested him to drive carefully as his safety is very crucial for the team. After the last match in that ODI series, Babar said: “The way we planned, we couldn’t finish it that way. However, the entire series was outstanding. We collapsed early on in the batting. We needed a partnership early on which couldn’t happen. We could have finished well after Salman Ali Agha got set, but then wickets started to fall from one end.”
“In Karachi, we were surprised that there weren’t as good batting conditions as we expected while batting second but you have to perform no matter what the conditions are. I think we should have played better cricket. New Zealand bowled well tonight. Overall, the series was good, there were good performances and many positives. We were able to check our bench strength and we tried different combinations to get to know where our one-day team stands. We were having an issue with the middle order and were lacking there but we got some options now,” Babar concluded.
Here is how fans have reacted to the video:
