Babar has amassed 517 runs at a dismal strike rate of 112. in 16 T20 World Cup games thus far.
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, is frequently criticized by former batsman Ahmed Shehzad. Shehzad has once more launched a vicious attack on Babar on the Pakistan talk show “Haarna Mana Hai” (Losing Is Not An Option!), with Pakistan on the verge of elimination from the 2024 T20 World Cup. This time, the program showed Shehzad and Babar’s T20 World Cup statistics side by side in an embarrassing comparison. Disregarding Babar’s title of “King” and referring to him as a “Fake King,” Shehzad claimed that Babar’s statistics were inferior to his own. Furthermore, Shehzad charged that Babar was preventing new players from developing in order to safeguard his buddies’ Pakistani careers.
Babar has a dismal strike rate of 112. Despite this, he has scored 517 runs in 22 T20 World Cup games. By contrast, Shehzad has amassed 250 runs at a strike average of 126 in 9 games and has scored a century.
“I think those statistics should have been better. But your stats, Babbar, are worse than mine,” a furious Shehzad remarked.
“You’ve faced 205 balls in powerplays in T20 World Cups, but you haven’t managed to hit one six!” attacked Shehzad harshly.
“Everything about the house was damaged by you. You gave up strong domestic cricket performances to make adjustments for your pals on the team,” Shehzad continued to criticize.

Saim Ayub, a batsman for 22 years old, was mishandled by Babar, according to Shehzad in particular.
“Unfortunately, Saim Ayub’s career has ended at such a young age; it was your duty to foster his growth. After just 25 games, Ayub is receiving criticism, Shehzad added.
Babar Azam has now been tasked by Shehzad with accepting responsibility for the team’s and his subpar performances. Pakistan is expected to exit the 2024 T20 World Cup in the group stage.
“The least you can do now is raise your hand, accept that you had the support and apologize for not being able to deliver a trophy for Pakistan,” Shehzad stated.
