It is obvious that Pakistan reached the finals, and reached under the captaincy of Babar Azam. Gave a tough fight in the final match. Especially the bowlers of Pakistan have been praised a lot. But, there is also a fact that Pakistan reached the finals of this tournament due to luck. Babar Azam has come under fire from some of Pakistan’s former players. Former dangerous player Shahid Afridi has suggested Babar Azam to relinquish the captaincy. Shahid said in his conversation with Pakistan’s media that Babar Azam Captain Pakistan Cricket Team should leave the captaincy of the T20 team and focus on his batting.

Babar Azam’s performance in T20 World Cup, 2022
ICC T20 World Cup, 2022 was played in the hosting of Australia. The performance of Pakistan’s batsman and captain Babar Azam was poor in this entire tournament. In the tournament leading up to the final, he played a total of 124 runs at an average of 17.71. During this, only one half century came out of his bat.
Now the question arises whether Babar Azam will give up the captaincy under the pressure of continuous criticisms? Or, will the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) rest him and give the captaincy of the T20I team to another player so that Babar Azam can focus on his batting?
