Pakistan’s cricketing superstar Babar Azam has humbly asked fans to stop referring to him as “King,” emphasizing the importance of focusing on the future rather than past achievements.
Babar Azam on “King” Title: Focus on the Future, Not the Past
Pakistan’s former captain and star batter Babar Azam has made a heartfelt request to his fans, urging them to refrain from calling him “King.” Speaking after Pakistan’s recent triumph against South Africa in the tri-nation series, Babar emphasized his desire to move forward and improve his game rather than dwell on past successes.
“Please stop calling me king. I’m not a king. I need to forget the past and look ahead,” Babar stated during a post-match interview. His words highlight his strong mindset and dedication to personal growth in the game.
Babar’s Struggles and Determination in New Role
Despite his immense popularity and success, Babar Azam is focusing on adapting to his evolving role in the Pakistan batting lineup. His shift to an opener has presented challenges, and he acknowledges that he needs to improve his finishing abilities.
Reflecting on Pakistan’s win against South Africa, he praised his teammates Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha, whose record-breaking 261-run partnership for the fourth wicket was instrumental in Pakistan’s chase.
However, Babar remains critical of his own performance, stating:
“What I have done before is in the past. If I dwell on past performances, I won’t be able to perform in the future. Every new day comes with a new plan and mindset.”
This statement reinforces his commitment to continuous improvement and adaptability in international cricket.
Babar Azam’s Leadership and Future Goals
Babar Azam has been Pakistan’s batting mainstay for years, often compared to some of the greatest batters in modern cricket. He has led the team in various formats, guiding them to the T20 World Cup final in 2022 and achieving several personal milestones, including multiple ICC awards.
However, with Pakistan’s recent struggles and his resignation from captaincy, Babar is shifting his focus entirely to his batting. His humility and desire to improve further prove why he remains one of the most respected cricketers in the world.
