Pakistan is scheduled for a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka. Hence, ahead of that series, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam attended a press conference. Babar just broke another record of Kohli as he now holds out to the top position in the shortest format of the game for the longest time. Previously, Virat Kohli held the record for 1013 days as the No. 1 T20-ranked batter in the world.

Now, speaking in the press, Babar was asked by a reporter about breaking Kohli’s record. However, the Pakistan batter came up with a witty reply “Kon sa” (“Which One”) as the video got viral instantly over the Internet.

“There is hard work involved and that is why I have been able to give good performances.” – Babar Azam

Speaking in that press, he said that a lot of hard work has helped him to perform well in recent times. Babar said: “I would like to thank god. There is hard work involved and that is why I have been able to give good performances.”

About the upcoming series against Sri Lanka at their home, he said that Pakistan has practiced on similar pitches as part of their training. Pakistan is going to play these matches, starting July 16 and 24 respectively. They will play a three-day warm-up match also before the series opener. “The conditions of Sri Lanka will be different and difficult, but we are prepared for the challenge. Spin pitches were specially prepared at the National High-Performance Center (NHPC) while practice matches were also played on similar kinds of tracks in Rawalpindi,” Babar added.

He also said that he has full confidence in his pace unit to take crucial wickets during that tour. “If the fast bowlers get fewer wickets in the match between Australia and Sri Lanka, it does not mean that our pacers cannot succeed either. Pakistan’s pace battery has enough capacity to pressure the Islanders,” he concluded.
