Pakistan team under the captaincy of Babar Azam had to accept defeat from a weak team like America in this tournament. After that, Babar’s bat remained quiet throughout the T20 World Cup. Considering the team’s performance in the T20 World Cup, questions were also raised on the captaincy of Babar Azam. After this, Babar’s poor performance was also seen in the recent Test series with Bangladesh on home ground. Therefore, Babar Azam resigned from the captaincy and indicated that he wants to focus on his performance. After his resignation, many people said that he should have done this earlier. Salman Butt defends Babar Azam Former captain Salman Butt has defended Babar Azam after he resigned from the captaincy of Pakistan’s limited overs team. In fact, former fast bowler Sikandar Bakht had made critical comments about the star batsman. Bakht had suggested that Babar should have resigned immediately after Pakistan’s group stage exit from the T20 World Cup. Now after his resignation he said to Babar, “Now I am ashamed!” Let us tell you that, he also criticized Babar’s leadership and personal performance during the tournament. Unhappy with Bakht’s comments, Butt defended Babar on a TV show. He said- “Look, respect is given only to the one who has his own. This is very unfortunate. You are criticizing a player who has been the best player for Pakistan in the last five years.” “You can like or dislike any person, but while criticizing you should consider the stature of the player.” watch video Salman Butt’s Reaction on Babar’s Captaincy Decision & Sikander Bakht’s Comments on it:#BabarAzam𓃵 I #PakistanCricket pic.twitter.com/evAO40PDp2 — Pakistan Cricket Team USA FC (@DoctorofCricket) October 3, 2024

Pakistani women’s team has not received salary for 4 months, PCB now gives this clarification

Pakistan Women (Photo Source: Getty Images) Pakistan started their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with a 31-run win against Sri Lanka at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 3.

Virat Kohli will be remembered as a great player, while Babar Azam…: Mudassar Nazar

Former Pakistan all-rounder Mudassar Nazar termed the comparison between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam as nonsense and said that there is a lot of difference between the two players. Babar Azam Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Twitter) Often on social media, fans of Pakistan and Babar Azam compare him with one of the great batsmen, Virat Kohli. Now former Pakistan all-rounder Mudassar Nazar termed the comparison between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam as nonsense and said that there is a lot of difference between the two players. According to Mudassar, Kohli is one of the great players of the game, while Babar is still to make a name for himself. Kohli and Babar are counted among the best batsmen of the present era. Both the players admire each other a lot and have expressed this openly on many occasions. Fans of India and Pakistan constantly make comparisons between the two, but Mudassar believes that both the players are not even in the same league yet. Speaking to news agency PTI, he said: There is a world of difference between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam: Mudassar Nazar “I mean there’s a lot of difference between the two players. Virat will be remembered as one of the greatest players to grace the game. At the same time, Babar still has to make a name for himself.” Like watching Rohit and Kohli bat: Mudassar Nazar The 68-year-old praised Kohli and India’s Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma, saying it was a great experience to watch them bat at their peak. Mudassar said, “I love watching Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli play. When they are at their peak and playing well, it is great to watch them play. You can sit in front of the TV for hours and watch those two play.” Rohit and Kohli were part of India’s 2024 T20 World Cup victory. Rohit was India’s leading run-scorer in the tournament, with 257 runs in eight innings, while Kohli top-scored with 76 runs from 59 balls in the final. Comparison between Kohli and Babar is nonsense: Zaheer Abbas Before Mudassar, former Pakistan legend Zaheer Abbas had also termed the comparison between Kohli and Babar as baseless. Speaking at the Cricket Prediction Conclave, he was quoted by Cricket Pakistan as saying: He said, “Comparison is useless, Virat Kohli scores runs in every match, whereas Babar does not score runs in any match, then how can you compare? The one who scores runs is a big player.” Kohli (35) is the fourth highest run scorer in international cricket. In 535 matches (595 innings), he has scored 27,041 runs at an average of 53.23, which includes 80 centuries and 140 half-centuries. Babar has scored 13,836 runs in 294 matches (328 innings) at an average of 47.54, which includes 31 centuries and 94 half-centuries.
