Pakistan's Star Cricketer Babar Azam Under Fire Ahead of Crucial Match Against India

Pakistan's cricket team is facing a moment of truth as they prepare to face India in a crucial match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The team's performance has been under scrutiny, particularly that of star cricketer Babar Azam.

Pressure Mounts on Babar Azam

Babar Azam's recent performance has raised questions about his technique, ability, and strike rate. His poor strike rate of 71 in the last match against New Zealand has sparked criticism from fans and former players. Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal has even questioned whether the team deserves to be in the Champions Trophy.

Former Players Weigh In

Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has emphasized the importance of the India-Pakistan fixture, stating that it is a "do-or-die" situation for the team. He believes that a win on Sunday is crucial for the survival of Pakistan cricket going forward.

Former Pakistan player Ahmed Shehzad has been critical of Babar Azam's performance, stating that he has not shown any intent in his batting. Shehzad has also questioned the team's strategy, stating that they have not been able to put pressure on the opposition.

Babar Azam's Future in Question

Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif believes that Babar Azam's performance in the upcoming match will determine his future in the team. If he delivers, he will be a star again, but if not, he will lose out. The blame will inevitably fall on Babar Azam, and he will be thoroughly scrutinized.

Team's Body Language Positive Ahead of Match

Despite the pressure, the Pakistan team seems to be relaxed ahead of the big match. Their body language appeared positive during their net session, and pacer Harris Rauf has stated that the team is unperturbed by the form and strength of the Indian team.

Will Babar Azam Deliver?

The world will be watching who performs in the upcoming match. Will Babar Azam be able to deliver and silence his critics, or will he continue to struggle? Only time will tell.
