This quartet of these four legendary cricketers of their respective eras has been involved in a panel discussion during the 20-20 World Cup 2022 on Pakistan TV channel A-Sports. They all had come up with some critical remarks for skipper Babar Azam and his opening mate Mohammad Rizwan including other players of the team as well when the team lost against India and the minnows like Zimbabwe in the first two matches.
The four greats have been analyzing their insights and knowledge of the game throughout the entire edition of the tournament. But the feat accomplished by the men in green compelled these veterans to celebrate with a dance.
Coming back to the things on-the-field, skipper Babar Azam lauded the crowd support during the post-match presentation. Subsequently, he also praised the 21-year-old young batter, Mohammad Harris, for his quick cameos in the three matches he got to play in the eighth edition of the 20-20 World Cup.
"Thanks to the crowd. We feel like we're playing at home. Got a good start with the first 6 overs with the ball. Later on, the ball didn't come on well. Fast bowlers finished well. We planned before going that we'll utilize the powerplay. He's a young guy and showing his aggression (Haris). He's playing very well. We're going to enjoy this moment. But at the same time have a focus on the final," said Babar after the men in green outmuscled the Kiwis.
