Pakistan Greats Slammed Babar Azam After Loss Against India
Former captain of Pakistan cricket team Moin Khan tore into current skipper Babar Azam after the defeat of seven wickets to India in their World Cup match on Saturday. India outplayed Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium to continue their winning run in the tournament. After being put into bat, Pakistan were 155/2 at one stage, but crumbled to 191 all out. Babar scored 50 (58), while Mohammad Rizwan scored 69-ball 49. While analysing the match, Moin said that Babar "looked scared," and the same was reflected in the body language of other players.
Moin said, "Babar's batting in terms of intent, as captain, was not his natural game. He took 58 balls. When he came to the crease, he was in a settled pitch and situation when the first wicket fell at 41. He should've maintained the flow a bit and attacked slightly. Ye to intent hota hain a pura reflect karta hai team ke andar. Aapka kaptaan jab dara hua nazar ayega, nahi khelega to ladke bhi phir wese hi react karte hain.”
He further said, "They looked under pressure, and clearly, because of this, they didn't execute proper shots. Aap pehle se dare hue honge yaar mai shots khelunga to out na ho jaun. I didn't see intent from any batters.”
