Former Pakistan cricketer Younus Khan has advised Babar Azam to learn from Virat Kohli. 46-year-old Yunus said- Babar, focus on your game instead of running after captaincy. He needs to learn from Virat Kohli.
Yunus further said – 'If Babar and other top order batsmen start performing well then the team will be able to give better results. Our players play less and talk more.' Babar Azam's form is bad. In the last 16 innings, he could not score a single half-century. According to Younus, Babar Azam was made the captain of the team in 2019 because he was the best batsman of the team at that time. He needs to focus on the game again.
Captaincy is a small thing, performance is important- Yunus
Yunus Khan said, Babar has achieved a lot at a young age, but he needs to know what he wants to do next. Captaincy is a small thing, performance is important. Look at Virat Kohli, he decided to quit captaincy on his own terms and is now breaking records around the world. This shows that the first thought should be to play for the country. If you have any energy left, play for yourself.

“Focus on Cricket”
Babar Azam failed to play a big innings during the ODI World Cup 2023. Under his captaincy, the Pakistan team was eliminated from the league stage. Apart from this, the team was eliminated from the group stage in the T20 World Cup 2024 and lost to a smaller team like USA. Recently, even during the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, Babar Azam failed to score runs from his bat. He scored 64 runs in four innings.
Younus Khan said during an event in Pakistan, 'If Babar and other players perform well on the field, the results will be visible to all. I have seen that our players talk more than perform.
Babar Azam has not scored a single fifty in the last 16 innings.
