Emulating Virat Kohli is a mere dream for most young batsmen - but former Zimbabwean star Grant Flower believes Babar Azam is well on the path to doing just that after his stylish century downed New Zealand. Flower is now Pakistan's fielding coach. Babar Azam made a brilliant hundred under pressure and Haris Sohail stepped up again as Pakistan defeated New Zealand at the World Cup. Unpredictable Pakistan needed a win to boost their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals and they moved level on points with Bangladesh and one adrift of fourth-placed England with two games to play.

00:00 In big tournament, do you think it's going to take him to another level?
00:11 Does he even need to go to another level?
00:13 Confidence wise, this is definitely his best one.
00:16 Because I've seen him get quite a few on very flat wickets, taking other away from those
00:22 side grids, but this was a tough wicket.
00:24 And the ball was turning, Ferguson was bowling fast, and there was a lot of pressure because
00:31 of the context of the tournament.
00:33 So this was definitely one of his best.
00:35 Where do you see Babbar going?
00:37 He seems to get better and better.
00:39 And I think Virat is his idol from what he was telling us earlier.
00:42 So you think he will be reaching that level the way he's practising now?
00:47 He's got Barrett's hunger.
00:49 I think he could be somewhere in the future.
00:52 He's definitely got the skill level.
00:55 So if you practise as hard as he does, and he's got that hunger and also his skills,
01:04 I don't see why he can't get to that level.
01:07 What is your tip to him?
01:09 What is your advice to him?
01:14 Keep it simple.
01:17 Practise hard, keep your feet on the ground, and make good decisions like he does on and
01:24 off the field, and I'm sure he'll do fine.
01:26 Good going, obviously.
01:27 Thank you.
01:28 Thank you.
01:29 Thank you.
01:30 Thank you.
01:31 Thank you.
