Babar Azam: Babar Azam was seen opening the T20 series against New Zealand. He returned as captain in this series. Before the T20 World Cup 2024, the Pakistani team has to play a series against England and Ireland. For this, Babar Azam has been made the captain. Babar has also been criticized many times for playing slowly in T20 cricket. Now former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has given him a big challenge.
Former cricketer gave this big challenge
Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali said on his YouTube channel that Babar Azam does not hit long sixes. If Babar Azam hits three straight sixes against top teams, I will stop appearing on TV and also stop my YouTube channel. I am saying such a big thing. But if Babar fails in this task then he will have to leave the opening slot. Along with this, Basit Ali also put a condition that Babar has to hit three consecutive sixes not against small teams like America and Ireland but against top teams. If he accepts this challenge then come forward and tell.
Series against New Zealand was a 2-2 draw
After the flop under the captaincy of Shaheen Afridi, Babar Azam was made the captain again. After this, under his captaincy, the Pakistani team had a 2-2 draw against New Zealand. The special thing is that Imad Wasim and Mohammad Aamir came back in that series itself. Both these players are included in Pakistan’s T20 World Cup plans. Apart from captaincy in the T20 World Cup, Babar Azam will also have the responsibility to perform wonders with the bat.
Made debut in T20I in 2016
Babar Azam made his T20I debut for the Pakistani team in 2016. After this, he has scored 3823 runs in 114 T20 International matches for the Pakistani team, in which he has scored 3 centuries and 34 half-centuries. During this period his average was 41.10 and strike rate was 129.41.
