“I don’t focus on the past; I try to focus on the future. Such records are made to be broken, and I try to break them. I will try to give a good performance tomorrow (Saturday). It depends on the day and how you play. I believe my team did well in the first two matches and will do well in the next matches as well,” Babar Azam said.

I Will Play, I Will Get What I Deserve – Babar Azam
No.1 ranked ODI batter Babar Azam, was also questioned about the pressure of defeating India and whether his leadership would be in jeopardy if Pakistan lost to India once more. The right-handed batter responded that he was not concerned and that the outcome of one game would not have an effect on his captaincy.
“I never worry that because of this match, I will lose my captaincy. Whatever God has written for me, I will play. I will get what I deserve. I didn’t get the captaincy because of a match, and I will not lose it because of a match,” Babar Azam added.
The Pakistani skipper has failed to live up to expectations, scoring just 5 and 10 runs in the first two games of the ODI World Cup. Babar Azam looked short of confidence since the start of the tournament and would look to return to form on the bigger stage against India.
