Exactly, one year ago, I was in Sharjah with my wife Iman witnessing Pak vs Scotland group stage match. Pakistan had already qualified for the semi-finals. Today, the cricket frenzy has taken over the Pakistani nation all over again. Babar Azam is probably the greatest T20I captain for Pakistan. But he has to prove it.
Under his captaincy in the T20I World Cups, Pakistan played eleven matches. Out of which Pakistan won eight and lost just three. He captained two world cups and qualified for the semi-finals in both. He captained one Asia cup and reached the finals. But these days it seems like his efficiency, elegance, and control—all of them—are no longer present. Babar Azam really that out of it?
When Kohli was being trolled for his poor form, Babar Azam stood in solidarity with him and tweeted “This too shall pass, stay strong” and shared a picture of them together.

Babar Azam has been criticized by Gautam Gambhir and called a selfish captain. Shoaib Akhtar lashed out at Babar Azam and Pakistan Cricket Board after Pakistan’s defeat to Zimbabwe. Wasim Akram has been quoting his dressing room talks with Babar when he asked Baber to play down the order. Muhammad Amir was just hoping Pakistan to lose so that Babar will be removed as Captain, Muhammad Wasim will be removed as Chief Selector, and RAMIZ will be removed as Chairman.
