“He’s Got A Bit of Steve Smith About Him”: Nasser Hussain Lauds Kamran Ghulam
Nasser Hussain praised the debutant’s ability to do sweep shots and became a fan of his swag. Hussain also sees a bit of Steve Smith in the Pakistani cricketer.
“Pakistan players generally love the sweep shot, he’s got that in his locker. He used his feet as well. He’s got a bit of Steve Smith about him when he defends the ball and charges. He’s got a bit of swagger about him.” (as quoted by India Today)
“He had to wait his turn. He’s been scoring prolific runs in the last three years. He got the right balance between attack and defense. They lost a couple of early wickets – on debut you want to get out there and that will have helped him.”
Kamran Ghulam got his chance when the Pakistan management decided to rest Babar Azam, a decision that led to many controversies. The 29-year-old took most of the opportunities by playing a perfect Test innings scoring 118 runs from 224 deliveries.
After the game, Kamran explained how he kept his cool when Pakistan lost their top 2 wickets early when he was coming to bat.
“I’d been waiting for my chance a long time but I never gave up. I had been waiting for my chance. That’s all I thought about. I kept being selected and then omitted from squads, and all I used to think about was how to take the chance I’d been given. When I came to the wicket we’d lost two wickets. But I wanted to play with a positive mind like I do in first-class cricket. That was at the back of my mind, and I wanted to play my natural game.”
