Karachi Kings pacer Mohammad Amir stated that bowling to Babar Azam or a tailender is the same for him when he's playing the field.
“These kinds of matchups and player rivalries keep players on their toes. I personally like these sort of challenges because it keeps me focused,” said Amir.
“My job is to take wickets and win matches for my team, so for me, facing Babar or a tailender batting at number 10 will be the same,”

In another interview, Babar said that he is not feeling any pressure regarding playing against his former PSL team.

“There is no pressure. I like to keep things simple and don’t overthink about the opposition,” said Babar.
“Competition is always good for the league. Not only Karachi, but every team has good quality local bowlers. That is why all foreigners play this league because it is a quality league,” Babar said. “When I play against any quality bowler, I stick to my basics,” he added.
Babar-led Zalmi will play their first game of HBL PSL 8 against Kings on Tuesday at National Bank Cricket Arena, Karachi.
