Babar Azam has taken giant strides in international cricket since his debut in 2015. His career will have a new chapter when Pakistan play their next ODI assignment as he has been appointed as the new skipper for the team in the format. Late in 2019, he was appointed as the full-time T20I skipper as well. With this, Azam will await a huge responsibility for leading his country in the ODI format.

Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja in his latest YouTube video has pointed out role models whom Babar should look forward to. According to the cricketer turned commentator, Pakistan’s new captain should idolize Indian skipper Virat Kohli and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson.

Kohli is getting glorious results from these aggressive captaincy tactics: Ramiz Raja

Talking about Kohli, Raja explained how the Indian skipper’s aggression brings the best out of him. He pointed out the Indian captain has a strong body language and emotional on the field. He also said that his aggressive tactics have rewarded him with success.

“There are two role models in international cricket from he can learn, understand – first is Virat Kohli’s captaincy model, which is aggressive. He has strong body language, he is passionate and emotional on the cricket. It enhances his performance with that sort of body language and challenges his team. He is getting glorious results from these aggressive captaincy tactics.,” Raja said.

Talking about Williamson, Raja said that in comparison with Kohli, he is quite calm. However, the ex-Pakistan cricketer said that Williamson is really good with his selections, something which Babar should learn.

“The second model is Kane Williamson model – New Zealand’s captain. A slow individual, he does captaincy slowly, doesn’t get emotional on the cricket field. He doesn’t have a strong body language like Kohli but follows the process. His selection is brilliant,” he added.

Azam is someone who has done really well with the bat in international cricket lately. With his performances, he has genuinely entered the list of batsmen like Kohli, Williamson, Root, and Smith, players who have a really good record in international cricket. Babar also averages over 50 in both ODIs and T20Is. His Test records have also improved in the last 12 months.
