5 bowlers who can neutralize Babar Azam
Babar Azam has been in fabulous form in recent times and has been striking the ball beautifully.
4. Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav is the only spinner in this list. Babar Azam plays spin very well. The way he uses his feet and rotates strike in the middle overs has been one of his strengths. However, Kuldeep has had the better of the Pakistan No. 3 every time the duo has faced each other.
Kuldeep has been one of the big reasons for India’s white-ball success over the last few years. He has been a force and his ability to give India regular breakthroughs in the middle overs has been excellent. He may be out of favour at the moment, but he has had Azam in trouble every time he has bowled to the Lahore-born cricketer.
The first time Azam faced Kuldeep was in last year’s Asia Cup and he was completely bamboozled by the chinaman’s wrong one which knocked over his off-stump. Earlier this year, the duo met again in the World Cup and Kuldeep once again broke the defence of Azam as he produced a ripping leg-break to go through bat and pad and knock over the stumps. Thus, Azam has struggled against Kuldeep and hence, the chinaman is one of the bowlers who can neutralize Azam.
