Pakistan captain Babar Azam stated he’s grateful for the love and help proven by the Indian followers through the ongoing Cricket World Cup. Babar landed in India for the primary time in September this yr, hoping to steer his staff to World Cup glory. However, not a lot has gone their means within the match, with Pakistan watching an early exit from the World Cup. In eight matches, Babar has scored simply 282 runs with the assistance of 4 half-centuries. However, he has not been in a position to encourage his staff as he would’ve liked to.

Pakistan want a giant win towards England of their remaining group match on Saturday with their semi-finals hopes hanging by a thread.

Babar asserted that the Pakistan staff has acquired quite a lot of love and help from the Indian followers.

“To be honest – first I got a lot of love from India, a lot of support. Not only me, the entire team. Of course, I was not able to get a good finish. My goal was to get a good finish in the batting. I didn’t have a goal to score 50 or 100. The main thing was to make the win the team. The performance that helps the team, not my individual performance. I played slow, I played fast, depending on the situation. I play according to the situation and according to what my team need,” Babar stated in a pre-match press convention.

“We came here for the first time, we didn’t have the awareness of how to take it, but we adapted as soon as possible in practice, that we will have to face it like this. So, we faced this thing, we took it and planned accordingly that how do we bat here. Because as I said, in the middle and end you get runs. In the middle overs when the ball is old you struggle a bit – as a batsman.” he added.
