After an embarrassing exit of the Pakistan team from the T20 World Cup, many questions have been raised. Not surprisingly, Pakistan captain Babar Azam is feeling the heat more than any other player. There have been many questions, especially about his batting performances, which are the talk of the town. Recently, World Cup winner and former aggressive Indian batter Krishnamachari Srikkanth has some advice for Babar Azam.
‘You can’t do tuk-tuking’
Speaking to Star Sports, Srikkanth said, “I don’t think Babar should play T20 cricket. I mean, you can’t do this tuk-tuking all the time in T20 cricket. They say Babar scored 4,000 runs like Virat or Rohit, but his strike rate is only 112-115. What are you talking about?”.

Raises questions on Babar’s strike rate
Srikkanth seems to be focused on Babar’s low strike rate in T20 cricket. In the T20 World Cup 2024, Babar has had a rough outing so far, managing just 90 runs in 3 games. His past runs have also come with a lower strike rate, and it is rightly said that this affects the team’s results, as they cannot afford a T20 player with a lower strike rate.
Not the first one!
Also, Krish Srikkanth is not the only one who pointed fingers. Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik also gave some advice, suggesting that Babar Azam should leave the captaincy to focus on batting. Malik said, “I have been saying for a long time, please leave the captaincy. You are a class player, and you will only be able to show your class when you do not have additional responsibilities on you. If Babar stays away from captaincy, it will be good for him. People keep talking about Babar and Rizwan’s strike rates, so you brought in Saim Ayub.”
