Shahid Afridi On Babar Azam: Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has raised questions on the ability of Babar Azam. He has pointed out the absence of match-winning skills in Babar Azam. He has said that when Babar goes on the pitch to bat, it never seems that he will return after winning the match for Pakistan.
This comment of Shahid Afridi came during Pakistan's tour of New Zealand, which is now being shared widely on social media. Shahid Afridi had said in a show on January 19 this year, 'We don't get that feeling going into it that we will win this match. We just feel that if he is going, he will score 50-60 runs. We need a player who can go in and win the match.
Shahid Afridi had said this after Pakistan lost the fourth T20 against New Zealand. Pakistan had lost the first four matches in the five-match T20 series. During this period, Babar Azam had scored half-centuries in three back to back matches. However, he was not successful in making his team win even a single match. He was losing his wicket every time after being well set. This is the reason why Shahid Afridi exposed Babar's shortcoming that he is not one of those players who would stand till the end and return after giving victory to the Pakistan team.

Babar Azam is going through a bad phase
The last few times have not been good for Babar Azam. His bat has been completely silent in Test cricket. He batted average in ODI and T20 but due to his captaincy and his innings, Pakistan team could not get much victory. After Pakistan's flop performance in the World Cup 2023, he even had to step down from the captaincy. However, even after the arrival of new captains, the Pakistani team could not return to the winning track. The Pakistan team had to lose the Test series by 0-3 in Australia, while on the New Zealand tour, the team lost the T20 series by 1-4.
