Once again, Babar Azam, who was expected to carry the hopes of Pakistan fans in the ongoing Champions Trophy match against India, surely got off to a fluent start as the former captain smashed five boundaries in his 23-run innings, but his promising knock didn’t translate into a big score. Continuing his poor form, he was dismissed by Hardik Pandya, who cleaned him up and gave him a cheeky send-off.
Not just in this game, but even in the last match against New Zealand, he failed to make a big impact. Although he scored a half-century, his slow innings put him under pressure. His struggles with form are certainly not sitting well with fans, and many are slamming him for his poor outing. Several fans outside the Dubai International Stadium also shared their opinions about Babar Azam with InsideSport. See what cricket fans are saying about him.
“Pakistan ko pressure me dal diya”
Talking to InsideSport, some fans mentioned how Babar Azam’s slow batting is pulling his team down, just like in the game against New Zealand, where he continued to bat cautiously even when the moment came to accelerate. On the other hand, someone pointed out that he should learn from Rohit Sharma, who plays with intent and looks to score runs as quickly as possible. Speaking about his consistency, fans also blamed him for not batting long enough, even when playing slowly. They suggested he take inspiration from Shubman Gill, who recently scored a century against Bangladesh.
