Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Ramiz Raja has responded to the critics pointing fingers at the recent strike rate of Pakistan captain Babar Azam in T20I cricket. He said that after Virat Kohli’s century, the matter of India’s exit from Asia Cup-2022 was forgotten. Will Pakistan be able to do this?
It is worth noting that Pakistan captain Babar Azam is currently present in the top five in the ICC Batting World Rankings. Till a month ago, he was sitting at the top for almost 3 years. World Bane has consistently maintained its dominance in the T20 rankings. At present, Mohammad Rizwan is on the top, Suryakumar Yadav at number two and Babar Azam at number three.

Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, despite their impressive performances in T20s, are under the scanner for their scoring rates. In his exclusive conversation with a channel, Rameez Raja said, “Earlier, we used to stagger in the beginning. Of course, we reached the final and didn’t play well. One day it could be bad. There were other teams in the Asia Cup. Team India should have been heavily criticized for not reaching the final, but their fans and the media don’t.
Rameez Raja further said that India played their last match against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup T20I-2022. In which Virat Kohli scored a century. After that they forgot the Asia Cup. Will Pakistan be able to do this? Questions are being raised that Babar Azam scored a century, but his strike rate was 135, while David Warner’s was 147.3. These are useless things.
Significantly, in their recent tour of Pakistan, England defeated Pakistan 4-3 in the 7-match T20 series (ENG vs PAK T20I Series, 2022). Chasing the target of 210 runs for England’s victory in the last match at Lahore, Pakistan’s team could only manage 142 runs in 20 overs for the loss of 8 wickets and lost the series.
