When Babar Azam Sought Help From Umar Akmal: "Bhai, I'm Having Trouble"
Out-of-favour batter Umar Akmal has revealed he helped former Pakistan captain Babar Azam overcome his struggles against the spinners. Babar has come under heavy scrutiny of late for his failure to score big, including the recently-concluded Champions Trophy in Pakistan and the UAE (only India matches). Over the past few years, Babar has been often criticised for his batting approach against the spinners. He averaged over 80 against spinners until 2021, but recent slump in form has seen that average drop down to 48.
