Ghulam scored a brilliant fifty [Source: @SeedaBalla93/X.Com]
Kamran Ghulam is a superstar in the making and he proved his worth once again by smashing a 25-ball fifty in the second ODI vs South Africa. He is a special talent and was first given a place in the side in the absence of Babar Azam.
However, slowly and steadily, he rose up and has quickly established himself as undroppable due to his stellar performances. Once again in the second match, he came in at a tricky situation after the loss of Babar and Mohammad Rizwan and scored briskly to take his side to a commanding 329.
He is worth investing in for a long-term project and Pakistan should treat him as one of the future best and here's why.
1) He is a flexible batter
Kamran Ghulam can bat at multiple positions and this is he biggest advantage with him. In Tests, he can bat at number 4, and in the ongoing contest, Ghulam came into bat at number 6, showcasing his flexibility.
In ODIs, having a player who can play at multiple roles is crucial and Ghulam provides exactly that to this Pakistan side.
2) He plays according to the situation
If needed, Ghulam can grind and play throughout the day in Tests, and if needed, he can score quickly to slam a 25-ball fifty, like what he did in this ODI clash.
With the absence of Fakhar Zaman, Pakistan's only aggressive batter in the squad is Saim Ayub, and they lack the firepower in the middle. Ghulam can solve the issue and can be the aggressor which the Pakistan team is searching for. Such a talent shouldn't be wasted and Pakistan should invest more in him.
