Pakistan batsman Babar Azam is keen on making some tactical changes to his batting and in order to do that he is focusing more on power hitting. The 24-year-old wants to hit more boundaries in limited-overs formats that sometimes demands the batsmen to slog it out in some situations.

After scoring his eleventh ODI hundred, playing against Sri Lanka on Monday, Babar Azam expressed how he is working hard in order to polish his power-hitting skills. He understands that the white-ball formats have certain situations where boundaries become important and the right-handed batsman has made it a habit to incorporate power-hitting sessions while in the nets.

“There is some tactical switch because I think I need to charge more and I am focusing more on power hitting in practice these days,” he told reporters.

In a span of 73 ODIs, Babar Azam has established himself as an expert batsman and according to the 24-year-old, his long stint in English county cricket helped him enhance his batting skills. He played a total of 14 matches across formats in the English county season following the World Cup.

“Playing in English county cricket has made a big difference to me. I have gained confidence as a batsman and I am able to give 100 percent in every match. My focus is on the given match and I want my team to win because of my batting,” he added.
