Babar Azam Duck in Test: The last one year has not been good for Babar Azam. First in the 2023 ODI World Cup under his captaincy, then in the T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan could not perform well under his captaincy. Although the captain of the Test team is Shan Masood, now Babar is being trolled for his personal performance. Three Pakistani legends have given him a piece of their mind for getting out on a score of zero in the Test match against Bangladesh.
Babar Azam has scored only 49 runs in 3 innings of 2 Test matches so far this year. The worst thing is that his average is less than 17. Last year too, Babar was able to score only 204 runs in Test cricket at an average of 23, which means he is having a very bad phase in Test cricket.
Pakistani veterans taught a lesson
Rameez Raja – Pakistani legend Rameez Raja believes that Babar Azam has lacked passion in recent times, which has affected his form. He says, “Babar is not scoring runs in Test cricket. He should show positivity because he is a great batsman. He does not need to play from inside the crease every show. He should think about spending more time in the field. There is no flaw in his technique and it was strange to be caught by the keeper against Bangladesh.”
Basit Ali – Basit Ali said through his YouTube channel that the habit of hitting every ball with the bat in the nets is very bad. According to him, nowadays it has become a habit of batsmen in Pakistan to think about hitting every ball. Ali believes that the first ball played against Bangladesh also shook Babar because he was thinking too much about not getting out in the slips. He was playing the same way against Shaheen Afridi in the nets. On the ball on which Babar got out, his leg stump was visible, which is a wrong technique.
Kamran Akmal – Wicketkeeper batsman Kamran Akmal also believes that showing the stumps was not a good decision. Akmal says that Babar Azam completes Pakistan’s middle order. The entire team considers him an idol and believes that he will take the burden of the entire middle order on his shoulders. He said that batting by showing the stumps is not easy in these circumstances.
