2019 World Cup: Team success more important than personal success, says Babar Azam

India TV News  

"Personal achievements don't matter to me, victory of the team does," said 24-year-old Babar Azam, who kept Pakistan alive in the ongoing World Cup as they defeated New Zealand in their crucial fixture. Azam, along with Haris Sohail, made sure Pakistan didn't have hiccups during the course of their chase after three wickets fell rather quickly and took them almost to the winning line before the left-handed batsman got run out with Pakistan needing only one run. West Indies great Vivian Richards comes at the third spot as he had taken 69 innings to amass 3,000 ODI runs, followed by West Indies' CG Greenidge and South Africa's Gary Kirsten. Talking about Pakistan's plans for the remaining two matches against Afghanistan and Bangladesh, Azam said they will focus on giving their 100 per cent and go for a win in what would be do-and-die matches for them in the tournament.
