The Pakistani superstar, once compared to Virat Kohli, is currently struggling to score runs in every match. Despite team changes, format shifts, and captaincy changes in Pakistan, Babar Azam’s bat has remained silent. Reports suggest that he could be dropped from the Pakistan squad for the upcoming Test match against England at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
In a match where conditions were favorable for batters in Multan, Babar failed to make an impact, getting dismissed cheaply for just 30 and 5 runs in both innings.
When did Babar Azam score last Test 100?
It feels like an eternity since Babar Azam last celebrated a century with his bat raised in triumph. His most recent international century came on August 30, 2023, when he scored against Nepal at the Multan Cricket Stadium in an ODI. In Test cricket, his last hundred was in December 2022, where he achieved an impressive unbeaten 161 runs against New Zealand at the National Bank Cricket Arena in Karachi. Fans are eagerly awaiting his return to form!
