Gautam Gambhir's serious advice to Pakistan skipper Babar Azam | ODI World Cup 2023

Gautam Gambhir is known to not mince his words and the former India skipper had serious advice for Babar Azam.

In a chat with Sportskeeda, Gambhir said, 'I feel Babar will have to change his personality, his game and, importantly, his mindset. Pakistan has had a history of attacking batters - Shahid Afridi, Imran Nazir, Saeed Anwar, and Aamer Sohail. In the present top three, everyone bats in a similar mode. If someone has to take responsibility, it has to be their captain, who bats at No. 3.'

'It is important for the captain to take responsibility. If the captain is defensive, the team will be defensive. You can't tell the 10 other players in the room that, ‘you play positive, I will play [anchor] from one end,' Gauti added.

'There is no point looking at stats. You may become Pakistan's leading run-getter, but the legacy is created by winning tournaments, not individual records. Nobody talks about Mahela Jayawardene's hundred in the 2011 final. Everyone remembers that India won the match.' he further explained.
