Babar Azam who was once considered star in International Cricket day by day he is losing his credibility as batter, due to his worst performance with the willow.
Fundamentally there is a problem in Babar Azam batting which needs to be addressed let us shared all those 5 Possible reasons in detail
1. Non-Sensical Comparison with Virat Kohli: The worst thing happened in Babar Azam’s career, is his comparison with Virat Kohli, while he was peaking as player with immaculate consistency.
That comparison added huge pressure on him for two reasons:
a. Babar and Virat started their International Cricket in different era, so comparing them is not possible as Kohli has more match winning knock and runs in winning cause as compare to Babar.
b. The King tagline given to him via his ex cricketer and journalist which is used to Symbolize King Kohli added another pressure on him.
2. Sadly Pakistan has only one mode of entertainment when it comes to Sports- Cricket everyone has say on the performance of current team and Babar being top players is always favorite topic for them where they bash ace batter right, left and center.
No matter what player states, that they don’t hear outside noise but in Digital age frankly where there is immense exposure on social media made it more difficult to him.
3. Babar needs to work on his power hitting shots, failing which he is not able to accelerate in the shortest format of the game which is modern day requirment.
4. Babar Running between the wickets needs to improve considering fitness being supreme factor, if he doesn’t work on those aspect that he will lag behind for sure.
5. Azam’s mindset for playing for his individual rankings and milestones makes things even difficult for him in the longer run as the mentality is only helping him score his runs in bulk but lagging the required run rate simply results against Men in Green.
Babar is currently leading Peshawar Zalmi where his team has lost 2 games so far in IPL 2025 keeping them at the bottom of points table.
