WATCH: Lecture on Babar Azam’s batting technique goes viral

A lecture on Babar Azam’s batting technique being taught by a coach at the International Coaching Cricket Center in the United Kingdom (UK), has gone viral all over social media.

The lecture, titled “Track the ball in the early stages of flight and move to the finishing line”, was used to display Babar’s technique and stance while he was facing Pat Cummins in the 2019 World Cup match against Australia.

In the video, the lecturer terms Babar ‘world-class’ and asks his students to learn from his stance.

“Top players track the ball when it comes out of the hand. They don’t move early, they stand still and keep watching it," the coach said.  

"He [Babar] is beautifully balanced at the crease. He is watching the bowler coming in, but not moving. There is a lot going on his mind. He will only move when the ball is close to him. That is why he is world number one," he concluded.
