**Interview with Babar Azam: Reflecting on the Brisbane Test Century**
**Interviewer**: Babar, congratulations on your century in Brisbane! You’ve mentioned that this is the best innings of your career. Can you tell us why that is?
**Babar Azam**: Thank you! Scoring runs in Australia is particularly challenging because they have a formidable team and conditions that can be tough for batsmen. Achieving a century here, especially after struggling in the first innings, makes it even more special for me.
**Interviewer**: Speaking of the first innings, you had a tough time there and scored just one run. How did that experience impact your approach in the second innings?
**Babar Azam**: It was frustrating for sure. I regretted getting out so early because I was playing shots that I shouldn’t have attempted right away. I was too eager and didn’t settle down. I realized I needed to be patient and learn from that mistake.
**Interviewer**: So, in the second innings, how did you change your strategy?
**Babar Azam**: I focused on leaving the balls outside off-stump and really took my time to build my innings. I aimed to play more conservatively at the beginning, and it paid off. I ended up scoring 104 runs, which felt great after the earlier disappointment.
**Interviewer**: After reaching your century, was there any sense of disappointment when you got out?
**Babar Azam**: Yes, there was a bit of disappointment in getting out after scoring the hundred, especially since I felt I could have contributed even more to the team. However, I took it as a learning opportunity for future matches.
**Interviewer**: Do you think this innings will inspire your teammates moving forward?
**Babar Azam**: I hope so. My journey shows that despite setbacks, with patience and learning from mistakes, you can bounce back. It’s important for all of us to believe in our abilities, especially when faced with tough conditions.
**Interviewer**: Thank you for your insights, Babar! Best of luck for the future games.
**Babar Azam**: Thank you! Looking forward to helping my team as best I can.
Ne run. How did you manage to turn it around in the second innings?
**Babar Azam**: Yes, I was quite disappointed with my performance in the first innings. I rushed into playing some shots that I shouldn’t have early on. When I got to the crease for the second innings, I focused on being more patient and selective. I learned from my mistakes and decided to leave the balls outside my off-stump. This approach helped me build a solid innings and reach my century.
**Interviewer**: After scoring your century, you expressed some disappointment about getting out. Can you elaborate on those feelings?
**Babar Azam**: Definitely. While I was thrilled to score a hundred, I had hoped to build on that and contribute even more to the team’s total. My mindset was set on playing a longer innings to support the team, and getting out after reaching the century felt like I hadn’t fulfilled that goal completely. It’s a lesson for me to keep learning and improving.
**Interviewer**: You’ve been frequently compared to Virat Kohli. How do you feel about those comparisons?
**Babar Azam**: I appreciate the sentiment, but I always maintain that I cannot be compared to him. Virat has played many more matches and has a wealth of experience that I am still gaining. Right now, instead of focusing on comparisons, I’m concentrated on my own game and developing my skills. One day, I hope to reach a similar level of consistency and performance.
**Interviewer**: You mentioned that your batting position has shifted throughout your career. How do you view your adaptability in the team?
**Babar Azam**: Adaptability is crucial in cricket. When I started, I wasn’t always in a set batting order due to the presence of great players like Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan. Regardless of where I batted, my focus has always been on the team’s needs. I believe that playing for the team is more important than individual numbers, and I always strive to make a positive impact on our performance.
**Interviewer**: With this century under your belt, how does it affect your confidence going into the next match in Adelaide?
**Babar Azam**: Scoring a century definitely boosts my confidence. It reminds me of my abilities and what I’m capable of achieving. I’ll take this confidence into the next match and aim to perform well again. Each innings is a new opportunity, and I’m excited about contributing to the team’s success in the upcoming matches.
**Interviewer**: Thank you for your insights, Babar! Good luck in your future games!
**Babar Azam**: Thank you! I appreciate it.
