‘Learn Batting From Motie’ – Babar Azam Gets Brutal Advice From Former Pakistan Player After Humiliating Performance Against West Indies

Babar Azam endured another mediocre series against the West Indies at home, failing to score big runs again. He could only assemble 45 at an average of 11.25 in four innings, with the best of 31.

Former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali took a brutal dig at Babar Azam, asking him to learn batting skills from West Indies tailender Gudakesh Motie. On his YouTube channel, Basit exclaimed Babar shouldn’t stop learning just because he is a big player.

“Babar Azam needs to learn batting from Motie. How to go front on the ball which is front and back on the ball which is back. It doesn’t mean that you won’t learn if you are a big player. Learning process should keep going on. Motie batted the best in this Test.”

Gudakesh Motie scored a vital fifty under immense pressure in the first innings to revive his team from a precarious situation when they were reeling at 54/8 and looked set to get out soon. He accumulated 55 runs, the highest among all batters in the match, and his knock eventually proved vital in West Indies’ historic win.

What are Babar Azam’s numbers in Tests since 2024?

Babar Azam has been enduring an extended lean patch in the longest format, struggling to score big runs. Since 2024, he has 386 runs at an average of 24.12 in 16 innings, with only three fifties and the best of 81.

The signs were encouraging in patches in South Africa as he batted with superior technique and showed good temperament. That raised hopes of the team management that he might be slowly regaining his beast form and be among the runs soon.

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen as Babar again went through a lean patch against the West Indies, undoing all the progress. The extreme nature of decks also played a key role in his downfall in this home series.

The tracks in Multan in both games were too spin-friendly and almost impossible to apply for batters. Still, Babar is one of the main batters of the side and should have shown better application with the willow.
