Babar Azam

Babar Azam has an exceptional overall record in T20I cricket. The stylish batter has amassed 2204 runs in 61 T20Is. At an excellent average of 46.89 along with an impressive strike rate of 130.64. Chopra believes the Indian seamers need to target Azam with incoming deliveries.

“So where you need to bowl to him, I will say within the three stumps. He scores fewer runs down the ground. So bowl him in the incoming deliveries within the stumps at the start with the new ball – Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami.”

“Lastly, I am saying don’t give him the room, keep him quiet there. You can push the square leg fielder back and try to get him leg-before or bowled. If you bowl that close, the chances of getting caught behind will also be created. You should also bowl an odd bouncer in between,” Chopra explained.
