There was a lot of speculation in the media on whether Babar will open the innings after Martin Guptill’s selection in the squad, but Babar has put those speculations to rest. Karachi has the option of opening with the Kiwi opener, Guptill, and Pakistan opener, Sharjeel Khan, but it looks like one of those batsmen will play lower down the order.
Babar said that he is looking forward to playing alongside Martin Guptill and believes the Kiwi opener can take the game away from the opposition in an instant.
“Martin Guptill is a great addition as I have played with him in CPL. I have a great bonding with him, he is a different kind of player, and when he bats, he changes the complexion of the game,” Babar said.
