11 months back, Pakistan had scripted a dominating run in the 2021 T 20 World Cup in the UAE, going in a winning spree in the group stages before suffering a narrow defeat to eventual champions Australia in the semis. But the Babar Azam-led side haven’t looked the same in the build-up to the 2022 edition of the World Cup with middle-order batting being their primary issue. However, former Pakistan fast bowler Aaqib Javed has come up with a rather strange solution for Pakistan, urging the captain to emulate Virat Kohli’s role.
Speaking to Paktv. tv, Aaqib explained that with Pakistan not having a player like Kohli at No.4, or any batter of that stature, the team’s middle-order has become weak. He added that if Babar can come down the order and bat at No.4 for Pakistan, it will strengthen Pakistan’s middle-order line-up and allow Asif Ali to play freely in the slog overs.
