Babar Azam should rethink: Dinesh Karthik’s verdict on ex-skipper’s miserable form

Former Indian keeper-batter Dinesh Karthik believes that Pakistan's Babar Azam has a lot of quality but needs to rethink his strategy

Former India cricket team keeper-batter Dinesh Karthik defended Pakistan’s Babar Azam amid his poor form in the ongoing PAK vs BAN Test series. After failing to score runs in the 1st Test, the former Pakistan skipper was dismissed for a duck in the 1st innings of the second match in Rawalpindi.

Speaking on Cricbuzz, Karthik opined that Babar was a player who had all the qualities to shine. He urged the former skipper to rethink his strategy before taking the field again.

No doubt over Babar Azam’s quality

Babar Azam as a player, nobody can doubt his quality. He’s got outstanding batting potential, though I feel he’s under a lot of pressure as a skipper. That’s something that they need to rethink about,” Karthik said on Cricbuzz’s HeyCB with DK show.

After scoring just 22 runs in the 1st Test, he’s failed to cross the 50-run mark once again. Babar hasn’t looked at home during the 2-match series. His failure in the first game handed Bangladesh a first-ever Test victory over Pakistan. Facing a humiliating series defeat, big responsibility fell upon his shoulders. Mind you, Pakistan hasn’t won a Test match at home since beating South Africa in 2021.
