00:00As a captain, it's a very proud moment for me that I have five 1-1-45 bowlers.
00:05The new talent is considering the batsmen as their idols.
00:09I think it's a very good sign.
00:30Babbar, if we talk about batting culture in Pakistan, it wasn't that much.
00:38Mostly, people considered fast bowlers as their heroes.
00:40But after a long time, we have seen that people have become batsmen like you and Mohammad Rizwan.
00:45How do you see this?
00:46Do you think there is a cultural shift in batting in Pakistan?
00:49As you said, Pakistan has always produced fast bowlers and fast bowlers have dominated.
00:58This is a fact.
01:00But now, there is a step-up in the batting world.
01:07Players like Rizwan, Imam, Fakhar and myself are taking responsibility.
01:14We try to keep things simple.
01:19We try to find a way to get the team out of any situation.
01:25We try to build a partnership.
01:28Communication matters a lot during batting.
01:33You feel like you are struggling.
01:38The opponent is playing with you, so it's his job to keep him free and calm.
01:44Because a lot of things are going on in your mind during batting.
01:48Your partner guides you and helps you understand things.
01:55Communication matters a lot.
01:58Thank God, people are starting to accept batsmen as their idols.
02:08I think this is a good sign.
02:11Pakistan's bowling has a lot of resources.
02:15Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah.
02:18Is it right to say that Pakistan's best pace attack is in Pakistan's wide ball cricket?
02:24Yes, you can say that.
02:26Our fast bowler, Shaheen, has a positive attitude and he is very involved in the game.
02:43He gives you a lot of energy when you go in and he gives you a lot of help.
02:49Naseem Shah is a new bowler and he has also improved a lot.
02:54When you play consistent cricket, you are more mature.
03:05Haris Rauf has also given me a lot of help when I needed it the most.
03:14Our fast bowler has a good attitude and they are all young and hungry.
03:24They don't feel like they have to go to the other side of the field.
03:30I bow to the bowler who has given me the ball.
03:34As a captain, it is a proud moment for me to bow to a bowler who has 5 balls and I have a 1.45 ball.
