It was an exceptional innings: Yousuf on Babar Azam's ton
Pakistan batting coach Muhammad Yousuf has hailed skipper Babar Azam for his "exceptional" innings against Sri Lanka, terming it as one of the best innings that he has ever seen in the longest format of the game. Babar scored a magnificent 119-run innings and added an invaluable 106 runs with the last two wickets as Pakistan recovered from 85 for 7 to score 218 in reply to Sri Lanka's 222 in the first innings on the second day of the Galle Test. "I think it was an exceptional, mature and patient innings. The maturity Babar has shown as a batsman even after becoming captain in all three formats is remarkable," Yousuf said after the second day's play here.
