But it seems Babar Azam was thinking something different, instead of looking for Abid Ali to score triple century, he might be looking for victory from this test match; that must be a reason why he had declared when Nauman Ali got out for 97 runs. Abid Ali really showed his character; yes batting all through the innings definitely needs lots of patience in test cricket. He definitely deserves a triple century but I will not blame the decision of a skipper for teams' victory sake.
That's a bad desciosn by the skipper. They would have still won the match because there was so much time left in the match. When a player is playing at above 200 runs , you should let him play until he is bowled out. Who knows he would have make 300 - 400 runs. Don't think if a player score more runs, it would be for his own records, but it will also help in breaking individual batting records.
I think it was a selfish decision of baber Azam for not allowing Abid Ali to play further.
