Under Babar’s leadership, Pakistan’s performance has been lackluster, especially evident in their poor showings at the ODI and T20 World Cups. Following heavy defeats in tournaments in the USA and the West Indies, criticism of Babar Azam’s captaincy mounted. Despite expectations for him to lead the team until the next Champions Trophy, Babar chose to relinquish his captaincy across all formats.

In a social media announcement, Babar Azam expressed gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support and faith. He emphasized his desire to prioritize his playing performance, enjoy batting, and spend quality time with his family. Babar’s decision to step down from the captaincy reflects his commitment to refocusing on his game and personal priorities.

Asghar, a talented 25-year-old left-arm spinner known for his impressive wicket-taking record, has been making waves in the cricket scene. With 177 wickets in 49 first-class matches and 66 wickets in T20, Asghar’s skill and precision on the field are commendable. Currently playing for Peshawar Zalmi in the PSL, Asghar’s performance has been consistent and noteworthy.

It is noteworthy that Babar Azam, although not a team captain, plays for the Stallions under Mohammed Haris’s leadership. On the other hand, Mohammad Rizwan leads the Wolves, Shaheen Afridi captains the Lions, Saud Shakeel heads the Dolphins, and Shadab Khan leads the Panthers.

The upcoming Champions Cup, scheduled to commence on September 12, promises an exciting showdown as five teams compete for the coveted title. With the tournament’s final set for September 29, cricket fans eagerly await the thrilling matches ahead, amidst uncertainties about India’s participation in the event.

Following his lackluster performance, Babar Azam, the Pakistan team captain, found himself at the receiving end of trolling from Pakistan fans. Wasey Habib further fueled the fire by speculating on Babar’s potential IPL auction amount, adding to the online chatter surrounding the player.

The situation escalated as a video discussing Babar Azam’s alleged worthlessness in the IPL auction went viral on social media, with claims that his bid might only reach Rs.130. This triggered a wave of anger among Pakistani cricket enthusiasts, who have been displeased with Babar’s failure to score a fifty in Test matches for the past two years despite his consistent selection in the team.

The criticism peaked when Habib labeled Babar as a worthless player on his YouTube channel, emphasizing the dire state of his performance. The remarks about Babar’s potential auction value further intensified the backlash, turning the spotlight on the player’s struggles and inviting a storm of online reactions.

Additionally, the article delves into the historical context of Pakistani players being banned from the IPL since the 2008 Mumbai attacks, shedding light on the ongoing exclusion of Pakistani cricketers from the prestigious league.

Fans had high hopes for Babar’s return to Test cricket at home after nearly 20 months since Pakistan’s last home Test match in January 2023. However, Babar’s performance fell short of expectations, marking the first time in three years that he was dismissed for a zero in Test cricket. Prior to the match, Shoriful Islam had expressed his desire to claim Babar’s wicket, a wish that he fulfilled with a superb catch by Liton Das off a delivery bowled outside leg stump. Despite Babar’s attempt to hit a boundary behind the wicket, Das’ exceptional diving catch sealed his fate.

Babar missed a chance to set a new record by not scoring a century in the match, which would have made him the fastest batsman to reach 4000 runs in Test cricket. With 3898 runs in 94 innings across 52 matches, Babar needs 102 more runs to achieve this milestone. The question now remains whether Babar will surpass this achievement in the upcoming innings.
