Despite facing three consecutive defeats in the ICC World Cup, the captain of the Pakistan national cricket team, Babar Azam, has shown resilience and leadership by encouraging and motivating his players. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) shared a video capturing this inspirational moment.
The PCB posted a video on its official account, showcasing the players’ practice session. In the footage, while the team engaged in net practice, Babar Azam was observed interacting with the players, providing words of encouragement during the session.
Babar Azam, in his pep talk during practice, shared a perspective of overcoming challenges, stating, “We have done this many times that we have risen from the bottom, but when we rise from the bottom, we go straight to the top. All the players remember that time.” He emphasized the importance of unity, stating, “It will be easy if we stay with each other. We have to walk shoulder to shoulder with each other. We have done it before, we have come back, and we can still do it. Don’t give up.”
This motivational message comes in the wake of Pakistan’s recent defeat to Afghanistan in an ODI World Cup match on October 23. Despite the setbacks, Babar Azam remains focused on boosting team morale and instilling a sense of determination.
Pakistan’s next challenge is against South Africa in Chennai on October 27, and Babar Azam’s leadership and encouragement will be crucial in steering the team towards a comeback in the tournament. The released video serves as a testament to the captain’s commitment to uplifting the spirits of the players in the face of adversity.
