Before the high-stakes T20 World Cup match against India, Pakistani cricketer Babar Azam faced teasing from former players due to his inconsistent performance.
As the ICC Men's T20 World Cup approaches, all eyes are on the much-anticipated match between India and Pakistan scheduled for February 15 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The match will kick off at 7 PM Indian time and is expected to draw massive viewership. Pakistani captain Babar Azam's performance will be critical for the team, especially following his underwhelming performance in earlier matches and criticism regarding his strike rate.
Babar Azam's recent form has come under scrutiny, particularly after a disappointing showing against the Netherlands. He faced a wave of criticism but managed to regain some momentum with a better performance against the United States. However, as he prepares to face India, former Pakistani cricketers have mocked him on a talk show, raising doubts about his ability to deliver an impactful performance in this high-stress match.
During the talk show, Ahmed Shehzad, a former cricketer, jokingly challenged Babar, stating that if he performs well and leads Pakistan to victory against India, he would give away free khichdi to the audience. This playful banter highlights both the expectations placed on Azam and the intense rivalry between the two nations in cricket. The buildup to the match showcases not only the sporting aspect but also the cultural significance of cricket in both countries.
