Babar Azam failed (Photo-GETTY IMAGES)
Babar Azam Failed: Babar Azam’s bad times are not ending. This right-handed batsman also proved to be a failure in the second innings of the first Test against South Africa. Babar was out after scoring 23 runs in the first innings and in the second innings he lost his wicket after being set. In the second innings, Babar Azam remained at the wicket for 72 balls, scoring 42 runs but then he was out LBW on the ball of Kagiso Rabada. Babar Azam’s dismissal like this is very worrying because he is losing his wicket after being set.
The wait for Babar continues
Babar Azam The wait to score a century in Test cricket continues. This right-handed batsman has not scored a Test century in the last 74 innings. Since the year 2023, the batting average of this player is only 23.75. The matter of concern for Babar Azam is that in the last 28 Test innings, this player has scored only 2 half-centuries. Babar Azam gets a good start every time but he is not able to convert it into a big innings. Babar Azam’s best score in the last 15 innings is 42.
He’s gone!
Another innings for Babar Azam without a fifty dismissed on 42.

problem on straight ball
Babar Azam dealt with the straight ball in both the innings of the Lahore Test. This player was out LBW in both the innings. In the first innings, off-break bowler Simon Harmer got Babar out LBW and in the second innings, Rabada’s angled ball caught him between the stumps. It is clear that Babar is having trouble with the incoming ball and it is possible that this is happening due to a technical flaw. If Babar does not play a big innings in Test soon, he will face the same fate as happened to him in T20.
