Babar Azam scored a brilliant century against Quetta Gladiators in the 29th match of Pakistan Super League. This player played an unbeaten inning of 100 runs in 52 balls. Babar’s fans are very happy after his century. However, former Pakistani cricketer and bowling coach of Peshawar Zalmi, Azhar Mahmood has given a statement which raises questions on the ability of Pakistani cricketers. Let us tell you what Azhar said while praising Babar Azam?
Questions on Pakistan’s batsmen
Babar Azam After the century, Peshawar Zalmi’s bowling coach Azhar Mahmood addressed the media and raised questions on the Pakistan team management as well as Pakistan’s batsmen. While defending Babar Azam, he said that it is wrong to blame Babar on his strike rate alone because Pakistan does not have batsmen with 190-200 strike rate. Azhar Mahmood said, ‘We have to accept that Pakistan does not have players with a strike rate of 190 to 200.’
Azhar Mahmood raised the question
Azhar Mahmood also raised questions on the strategy of Pakistan cricket team. He hinted at the fact that recently in the T20 World Cup, Babar Azam was sent to number 4 and questions were raised on his strike rate. Azhar said that Babar should be given a chance at the opening only and he should remain in the anchoring role like he is in Peshawar Zalmi.
Babar’s bat is speaking
Let us tell you that Babar Azam has performed brilliantly in Pakistan Super League 2026. This player has scored 401 runs at an average of more than 100.
