Suryakumar Yadav always makes a huge impact due to his extraordinary shot-hitting abilities but Pakistan skipper Babar Azam doesn’t want to give extra importance to a particular batter as they gear up for the much-awaited clash against India on Sunday.

Surya, the fastest batter to touch the 1000-run mark in T20Is, plays shots all around and has tormented bowlers across teams. “We have plans for each player, not just Surya. We have a plan and hopefully, we can execute them properly,” Babar said on match-eve

While Shaheen Shah Afridi — the chief tormentor of Team India in last year’s T20 World Cup — is in focus, the Pakistan skipper called Haris Rauf the most improved bowler.

“The amount of improvement he has shown, the bowling unit has got confidence. His home ground in BBL (Big Bash League) is MCG. He didn’t let us miss Shaheen in the manner he took responsibility,” Babar said.

In more good news for the team, top-order batter Shan Masood has recovered from his head injury. He was hit on his head by a Mohammed Nawaz’s shot during a practice session on Friday.

“Shan Masood has recovered. He has cleared all the tests. Pitch was covered for two days but we know at the back of the mind what our XI would be,” Babar said, adding that Fakhar Zaman is still nursing an injury and will be unavailable for the game.

But even if rain leads to a shortened game, Babar and his boys are ready for the big match at the MCG.
