Even after the defeat, Captain Shan Masood opened his heart in praise of Babar, this is why he said such a thing
Shan Masood and Babar Azam
Shan Masood Pakistan Test Captain: The Pakistani team had to face a crushing defeat by 10 wickets in the second test match against South Africa. With this the Pakistani team has lost the series 2-0. Pakistan gave an easy target of 58 runs to Africa, which the African team easily chased. Captain Shan Masood had played an inning of 145 runs for Pakistan in the match, but even his brilliant innings could not avert the defeat. He had a partnership of 205 runs with Babar Azam.
Was a flop with ball and bat: Shan Masood
Pakistani Test team captain Shan Masood said that a lot of positive things have happened in this series. We did very well in Centurion. But here we could not capitalize on the necessary opportunities to win. Our start was not good with both bat and ball. While bowling, we gave a lot of runs in the beginning. At the same time, we could not do well in batting. Whereas this was a good wicket for batting. It was a good surface, which surprised everyone.
He said that we have to learn how to win in important moments. In the England series, we made a comeback after falling behind continuously. You trust your players to learn, and to learn the hard way. There are many young cricketers who will come back stronger. I never look at personal achievements or milestones. You want everything you do well to lead to a win, whether it’s a good 30 or 150 or 200.
Babar Azam praised for opening
Shan Masood said that there was a good partnership with Babar Azam. We passed the whole day almost without losing any wicket. It was unfortunate that Babar got out on a shot which he plays really well. When we did not have Sam Ayub to open. Then Babar came forward and took the responsibility of opening. These are the things that make you happy. Many individuals in this team have certain qualities that have come forward when needed.
