“I am not satisfied with where I am right now, and there are still more milestones to achieve. When I fail, I talk to many people and learn from my mistakes,” the 29-year-old batter said in an interview.

He acknowledged the high caliber of spinners in the league and emphasised the importance of adapting to diverse pitch conditions.

Having recently played in New Zealand, Babar drew comparisons between the conditions there and those in the BPL. In terms of his approach to batting, he stressed the importance of building partnerships and staying at the wicket.
