Australian cricket legend Adam Gilchrist has urged Babar Azam to adopt a more proactive approach in T20 cricket, particularly on flatter pitches. Gilchrist noted Azam's 58-run innings for Sydney Sixers, stating his strike rate of 126 put pressure on his batting partner. While acknowledging Azam's foundational batting style, Gilchrist emphasized the need for increased intent and power-hitting to adapt to modern T20 demands, suggesting Azam is aware of the need to evolve his game.
