The man's lack of strategic insight was evident during the death overs, a pivotal moment caught on camera that arguably cost us the match. Despite being tantalizingly close to victory, he couldn't keep his composure. Yet, all hail King Babar – a leader above reproach, untouchable even when his decisions raise eyebrows. It's as if daring to question him is forbidden; SOCHNA BHI MANA HAI, All Hail King Babar.
Even when his star-pacer, Shaheen Afridi, conceded three sixes in the T20 World Cup semi-final, he didn't intervene. Babar Azam faced defeat in the Asia Cup 2022 final against an out-of-form Sri Lanka, yet criticism remained off-limits.
Fast forward to the T20 World Cup 2022 against India; he seemed to have everything under control until Virat Kohli unleashed his brilliance.
In the face of this challenge, Babar Azam's captaincy crumbled, leading to an improbable Indian victory. The world watched Kohli dominate while wondering where Babar Azam had disappeared to. Babar was later credited for Pakistan's journey to the final, with claims that the team would never have reached this far without his leadership.
However, in that final, confusion reigned as Babar couldn't decide on the batting order. We had to rely on Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf to save the day, but they couldn't, with the team scoring just 137. Yet, it was argued that batting alone shouldn't define Babar's contribution; his leadership was the real reason for the final berth.
Now, after years as Pakistan's sole cricket king, questions surround his captaincy. His selections raise eyebrows, like choosing Nawaz instead of Faheem Ashraf against India, leading to India's high score.
Then, when India dominated Pakistan in a crucial ODI, Babar couldn't change the tide. Still, he remained blameless, citing injuries and changing conditions. SOCHNA BHI MANA HAI.
The Asia Cup format offered a path to the final by beating Sri Lanka. Babar's underwhelming performance was compensated by Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed, who shone brightly. Yet, Pakistan fell short of victory again, lacking a genuine spinner and experienced pacers due to Babar's decisions
