Babar Azam reveals he learns batting techniques from Virat Kohli

Pakistan white-ball captain Babar Azam has shared his admiration for Indian star batter Virat Kohli, revealing that he learns batting techniques from him. 

The 29-year-old star batter made the revelation during his recent interview with legendary South African cricketer AB de Villiers on his YouTube channel.

"Whenever I get a chance, I learn my batting techniques from Kane [Williamson], Joe [Root], Virat [Kohli].... they give you good advice. I take suggestions to make it [batting] better," Azam said.

Babar Azam also named Pat Cummins as the toughest bowler he has ever faced, a sentiment also echoed by AB de Villiers.

"Yea, I agree with that, he is very close. He is my top three," the former cricketer said.

When asked about his favourite batsman, Babar Azam named AB de Villiers.

In response, the 40-year-old batter jokingly said that the answer was not supposed to be his name.

"No No, you [are always my favourite batsman]," Babar replied.

The skipper also revealed his interests outside of cricket, saying, "In my free time, I like to play snooker and golf."

In response to another question, Babar said that he loves to talk to Pakistani singer Atif Aslam.

"I don't worry about the future, I don't think about where I'm going, I just think that I'm playing and enjoying every moment. Cricket is my passion, and I just love to play cricket," the cricketer said on his approach to the game.
