High expectations were set for star batsman Babar Azam by former Pakistan Test cricketer and PCB chairman Ramiz Raja, who said he should demonstrate his potential like Sir Vivian Richards.

Babar is now going through a difficult time. The ace batsman’s string of poor showings in the longest format also led to his exclusion from the final two Test matches of the just finished three-match series against England.

Although Babar has amassed 3,997 runs at a respectable average of 43.92 in 55 Test matches, he hasn’t reached a half-century in the format since 2022.

Babar Azam’s numbers in white-ball cricket were praised by Ramiz Raja, who pointed out that he needs to work harder in the longest format given his red-ball statistics.

Citing the legend’s propensity to perform well in pivotal games, he further counseled the star batter to demonstrate he is Sir Vivian Richards through his disposition.

“I think Babar needs to do much more in Test cricket. His average in both T20I and ODI is over fifty, and he excels at the white-ball format.On his YouTube channel, Raja stated, “Babar Azam has a lot of potential.”

He must now demonstrate to the world that he is Vivian Richards by his attitude. “The more innings Richards used to play, the bigger the contest,” he continued.

For those who are unaware, Babar Azam is presently touring Australia for the three-match ODI and T20I series.

With 271 runs needed to reach 6000, the star batter is about to reach a significant ODI milestone.

Additionally, he has a good chance of breaking the record held by South African great Hashim Amla for the fastest journey to 6000 ODI runs.
