We have plans for everyone, not just Surya: Babar Azam

Suryakumar Yadav has a terrorising presence due to his extraordinary shot-hitting ability but Pakistan skipper Babar Azam doesn't want to give extra importance to a particular batter as they gear up for much-awaited clash against arch rivals India, on Sunday.

Surya, the fastest to batter to touch 1000-run mark in T20Is, plays shots all around and has tormented the 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 the eve of the match.

There was good news for the Pakistan team that Shan Masood has recovered from his head injury. He was hit on his head by a Mohammed Nawaz's shot during a practice session. "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," the skipper said while informing that Fakhar Zaman is still nursing an injury and will be unavailable for the game.

If rain leads to a shortened game, Babar and his boys are ready. "Whatever be the duration of the match, we are ready. But for the fans, it would be great if we have a full match," Babar said.
