Nasser Hussain Hails Kamran Ghulam’s Gritty Century, Compares Him To Steve Smith
Nasser Hussain: Pakistan’s debutant Kamran Ghulam made an unforgettable impact in the second Test against England on October 12, steering his team out of early trouble with a resilient century. Former England captain Nasser Hussain praised Ghulam’s performance, likening the 29-year-old’s style to that of Australia’s Steve Smith.
Coming into the side as a replacement for Pakistan’s star batter Babar Azam, Ghulam rose to the occasion on his Test debut, producing a crucial 118 off 224 balls. His composed innings was the backbone of Pakistan’s recovery after they stumbled to 19 for 2 early on. By stumps on Day 1, Ghulam’s determined hundred had guided Pakistan to 259 for 5, putting the team back on track in Multan.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Hussain lauded Ghulam’s ability to adapt to the tricky conditions and expertly navigate England’s bowling attack. “He had to wait his turn. He's been scoring prolific runs in the last three years. He got the right balance between attack and defence,” Hussain said, highlighting Ghulam’s poise at the crease.
