The former South African captain supported the decision to drop Pakistan batsman Babar Azam in the batting order.
He said that Pakistan President Mike Hesson’s decision was right in line with the strategy.
Du Plessis added that T20 cricket requires a quick strike rate in the first 6 overs, with classic batsmen like Babar Azam sometimes falling short of the quick requirements.
The South African star said that Hesse gave the perfect role to Babar Azam based on his talent, ignoring his potential.
It is worth mentioning that in the last period, Babar Azam was sent to bat at number four, but in the important match against Namibia, Babar was not sent in despite being in the playing XI.
