KARACHI – Quetta Gladiators' mentor Sir Vivian Richards compared Pakistani skipper to the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time Muhammad Ali saying he ‘methodically dismantles’ his opponents.
Speaking with a local news outlet, the cricket legend said Karachi Kings captain, whose laud-worthy batting was a treat to watch, is the best who plays conventional shots and shots that you will see normally in long formats.
“What I love about Babar is that you don't see what he's doing to you, he doesn't knock you out. He tends to be like a Muhammad Ali, when he boxes, he jabs and he hurts you. He is an individual that just has too much time to play, and it's a joy,” Richard was quoted saying about the Pakistani skipper who was crowned ICC Men’s ODI Cricketer of the Year.
Heaping praise on Kings’ skipper, he said the 27-year-old is part of that very rare group, who can score runs in conventional ways. Adding that, his elegance with the cover drive prettifies the shot in a customary manner.
