In the match between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings, Babar Azam scored 46 runs off 41 balls. On a TV show, Ahmad Shahzad said this innings is not justified.
Babar Azam can’t take responsibility for the whole team. He just needs to focus on his own role and do it properly. The reason he was dropped from the team earlier was because he used to play very slowly — his strike rate in the first 6 overs and then from overs 6 to 13 was very low.
That’s why he was dropped. Whether he performs or not is a different thing, but at least he should show intent. Being out of form is a separate topic — I’m not talking about that. But trying to justify this inning by blaming the pitch isn’t right. In today’s match, whether it was David Warner, James Vince, or anyone else — normal cricket means you try to play better than the other team. But today, it looked like both teams were trying to play worse than each other.”
