Former Australia spinner Brad Hogg has opened up on Pakistan skipper Babar Azam’s dismissals during the first South Africa Test in Karachi.
Babar was dismissed by Proteas left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj in both innings, while only scoring 7 and 30 runs respectively.
Responding to a Twitter user’s question about Babar facing more left-arm spin in the nets, Hogg said: “Correct. LBW to Maharaj in both innings. Beaten on the inside edge 1st innings and outside edge 2nd innings, Babar has a bit of headache here reading the spin.”

He also shared his thoughts on debutant Nauman Ali and leg-spinner Yasir Shah's performance, who played a key role in Pakistan’s victory during the first Test.
“I don't think Nauman has to change anything. I loved the way he changed his lines and had the South African batsman slightly hesitant with their footwork. Yasir's role is to be the more attacking bowler,” he said.
