Virender Sehwag speaking during an interview with Shoaib Akhtar:
“When a batter struggles, their mindset can suffer, affecting their performance. This might be what's happening with Babar Azam. When you’re the captain of a team and then you step down, and the expectations people had from you start to fade, it can really mess with your head”
“Babar Azam needs to get mentally strong and make a comeback. Good players usually bounce back quickly, and I’m hopeful that Babar Azam will return to the Pakistan team and perform well. Sometimes, it's necessary to bench a big player for a match or a series. But when they return, they often come back better.”
“It's not just about making runs; there are mental challenges too. For Babar Azam, this is a good wake-up call. Playing domestic cricket can help him make a comeback. My advice for him would be to take a little break from cricket for now. Focus on getting your mind right because, in international cricket, mental toughness and strong willpower lead to success. He should step back a bit, work on his fitness, spend time with family, and when he returns, practice hard. I believe this approach will help him.”
