Babar Azam, the Pakistan T20I captain, continues to face mounting pressure as both a batsman and leader, amidst recent struggles that have drawn criticism. After stepping down from ODI captaincy following Pakistan’s early exit from the World Cup, where his own batting form came under scrutiny, Babar Azam’s return to T20I captaincy earlier this year has not brought the desired results.
Under his leadership, Pakistan faced challenges, including drawing a T20I series at home against a weakened New Zealand team and suffering defeats in England. The T20 World Cup proved particularly disappointing, with Pakistan exiting in the group stage after losses to the USA and India.
Babar Azam’s batting performances have also faced scrutiny, highlighted by his strike rate and struggles in high-pressure situations. Despite efforts to regain form and lead from the front, he has faced criticism and social media backlash.
Recently, a video circulating on social media has added to his woes, showing Babar Azam visibly struggling against Ubaid Shah, Naseem Shah’s brother, during a net session. The clip captures a moment where Babar Azam was struck while attempting a pull shot, potentially intensifying the scrutiny and trolling he faces online.
