I am captain, I will decide batting order; not you.
Babar Azam in response to Wasim Akram
Babar is being selfish, at this point, for not moving down the order. However, in his defense, the pitch was not easy to bat on but his being out of form makes matters more difficult to bat in such conditions. Besides, if we can show support for Kohli in his bad patch then why can’t the same be done for Babar? His bat will win us matches not Kohli’s.

Even incredible players have weak points. Unfortunately, Babar is not in peak form at the moment and it can happen to anyone. Most recently, Indian Captain Rohit Sharma equaled the record of Babar Azam in T20 International matches victories in a calendar year. By the end of the season, will Babar take back his supremacy? That is the question. Everyone has their ups and downs in sports. The tables have turned for Babar Azam, who went from being the T20 World Cup 2021’s top run-scorer (303 runs) to failing to register a fifty in T20 World Cup 2022. This too shall also pass for him.
QOUM MULK SALTANAT, BABAR AZAM ZINDABAAD
Are we going to see big innings from Babar Azam in the semi-final? Matthew Hayden reckons such a knock is not far away. Might be tomorrow in the semis. What better occasion than that folks? All the best Pakistan skipper. I feel a 50 tomorrow. Come on Skipper it’s long due now. There have been 378 instances of a player facing 60+ balls in a T20 WC – only once has a player scored at a lower average and lower strike rate than what Babar Azam (Avg 7.80, SR 61.90) has managed in this World Cup. It’s slightly worse 57(65), not even good enough for ODI’s.
