Srinagar: In massive praise and prediction, the former England skipper turned expert Nasser Hussain has named Babar Azam and Virat Kohli as two batters as potential achievers in the upcoming 2024 season.
The ICC shared a video on their social media platform where Nasser identified Virat Kohli and Babar Azam as players likely to shine in 2024.
“Virat Kohli. Obviously, he had a fantastic 2023 and World Cup. Amid all the records he broke and the attention, we did not focus on how well he was batting. Technically, I have never seen Virat bat as well like that. The sound of the bat, that innings against Sri Lanka in Mumbai, I can name about five innings where he was getting in a good position. That is a good sign for Virat, India and Virat fans”.
“It means that he is in a good mental space and his game is in good order,” Nasser Hussain said in the video.
On Babar Azam , Nasser Hussain said that former Pakistan caotain must deliver a strong performance for his team with the T20 World Cup 2024 slated for next June in the West Indies and USA.
“Another one, they are often compared. Babar Azam. I think it is a massive year for him and Pakistan. He has given up captaincy, that may be the weight off his shoulders. The biggest thing he can do for Pakistan cricket is get shed load of runs. They need him to get runs. There will be a T20 World Cup in the Caribbean. They got to the finals last time. They will need their ex-skipper to put in a real performance,” Nasser said.
