In the first innings of the first Test match being played against West Indies at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy Stadium in Trinidad, Babar only 23 runs Got out after making it. After this innings, questions regarding his form in Test cricket have intensified. For some time now, Babar’s bat has not been able to score runs as expected and recent figures are also testifying to his poor form.

In this match against West Indies, Pakistan expected a big innings from its captain, but Babar once again could not live up to that trust. He started cautiously, but despite looking in good rhythm, he could not convert his innings into a big score. As soon as his wicket fell on the personal score of 23 runs, the pressure on Pakistan’s batting increased. If Babar Azam’s previous 10 test innings But if we look closely, the picture appears even more worrying. In these 10 innings he only a half century have put. He could not even cross the 50 run mark in the remaining nine innings. Such performance is not expected from Babar, who is counted among the top batsmen in the world, that is why his recent record is constantly being discussed.

In these 10 innings, Babar has batted against England, Bangladesh and West Indies. His performance against the strongest team England was the most disappointing. In two innings he only 5 and 1 run Scored, i.e. a total of 6 runs. This figure shows that Babar was seen struggling in front of a strong bowling attack. Even against West Indies, Babar’s batting was not as per expectations. In his last three Test innings against this team 31, 23 and 23 runs Have made. For the second consecutive time he was out on the score of 23 runs. Despite scoring a total of 77 runs in three innings, he could not succeed in playing even a single big innings.

Babar’s performance against Bangladesh was relatively better. He played in five test innings 178 runs Made, which also included a half-century. His score during this period 22, 11, 30, 68 and 47 Remained. However, here too he could cross the 50-run mark only once. Babar Azam’s record as a captain even on foreign soil has not been impressive in recent times. In the last five Test innings played away from home, he 81, 13, 24, 39 and 23 runs Have made. After scoring 81 runs in the first innings, he could not reach half-century in four consecutive innings. A captain is expected to set an example for the team not only through strategic leadership but also with the bat.

Recently, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) again handed over the captaincy of the Test team to Babar Azam. After getting the captaincy, Babar had said that his aim is to get the best performance from the team players. But cricket experts believe that to take the team forward, he himself will have to play big innings with the bat. The form of the captain has a direct impact on the confidence of the entire team. Now all eyes will be on the second innings of this test match. Babar Azam has a golden opportunity to make a great comeback and answer his critics. If he is successful in making a big score in the second innings, then not only will Pakistan’s position be strengthened but the questions being raised about his poor form can also be put to rest to a great extent. If his bat remains silent once again, then the debate on both his batting and captaincy in Test cricket may intensify.
