"We don't plan anything against only one player" - Babar Azam when asked about Pakistan's plans for Virat Kohli during clash vs India in the World Cup
Speaking at a recent press conference, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam was asked about the team's plans for countering the threat of Virat Kohli during the match against India at the 2024 T20 World Cup next month.
Babar revealed that they usually don't devise strategies for a single player but do it for the whole team.
"As a team, you always plan against different teams and according to their strengths. We don't plan anything against only one player. We plan for all 11 players. We don't know much about the conditions in New York and we will plan accordingly. He [Virat Kohli] is one of the best players and we will plan against him as well," Babar said.
On the newly appointed white-ball teams head coach of the Pakistan team Gary Kirster, Babar added:
"He [Gary Kirsten] was already working, and then PCB offered him the job, which he accepted. He is very enthusiastic about our discussions and is making every effort to join the team as soon as possible. However, he stays in touch daily, receiving reports about what we are doing and how we are planning things."
