Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, continued to struggle in the ongoing 2023 ODI World Cup as he once more faced difficulty in finding his form.
Babar Azam faced a tough time trying to add runs to the scoreboard and had a disappointing performance in the first match against the Netherlands, managing to score just 5 runs. Once more, he couldn’t meet the hopes of the fans and was quickly sent back to the pavilion in Pakistan’s second World Cup match. Babar’s dismissal was a significant setback for Pakistan as they were in pursuit of the formidable 345-run target set by Sri Lanka.
There were high hopes and great expectations for Babar Azam in a challenging high-scoring chase, but the captain’s performance left much to be desired. His dismissal, caused by what could be considered an underwhelming delivery, saw him glove the ball to the wicketkeeper Samarawickrama. Despite showing good form in warm-up matches with scores of 80 and 90, Babar seemed to lose his touch when it came to the critical World Cup matches.
In the match against Sri Lanka, which required a substantial chase, Babar was only able to contribute 10 runs before his dismissal.
In the aftermath, social media has been abuzz with reactions to Babar Azam’s tough day on the field. Fans have not held back in their criticism of the world’s number one batter, often drawing comparisons with Virat Kohli and subjecting him to humorous memes. These reactions underscore the challenges faced by Babar in reaching the level of a player like Kohli.
