‘He is letting you down’: Dinesh Karthik About Babar Azam

Pakistan and the USA have a clash against each other, on June 6, Thursday at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas. In that game, Pakistan lost to the game against the USA.

The Indian legend said Babar as a skipper should not be blaming his players for the losses in front of the media and the public. He needs to be more diplomatic and keep the criticism inside four walls as this could impact the players’ confidence in themselves which will eventually affect their performance.

Dinesh Karthik said on Cricbuzz,

“As a leader, you have to find ways to be diplomatic in press conferences and post-match ceremonies. Somehow, find a way to back your players. Inside the four walls, in the dressing room, you can say what you want and have a go at a few people, but you need to find a way to back those players.

It is one thing, to be honest, but it is also one thing trying to understand what the dynamics of your team are. He is just newly appointed as a captain, and a lot of the players are vulnerable right now, he needs to be saying things like, ‘Yes, it was a bad day, we could have probably done something better’.

That is the kind of language to be used.”

“But to say that we played badly and lost too many wickets, it is firstly stating the obvious, and secondly, if any Pakistan player reads it, which they will be, it feels like he is letting you down.

The way he has conducted himself on the field, where he is having a go at the bowlers when boundaries go, is not a sign of a good leader. Showing disappointment is fine, but there is a way to show it, where the players do not get more nervous than they are already on the field,” he added.
