T20 madness is returning, and Pakistani fans are buzzing with next-level excitement. As another edition of the Big Bash League is coming back, Babar Azam is set to represent the Sydney Sixers.
With the former Pakistani skipper set to don the pink jersey, his usual number 56 comes with a little twist. A clever extra zero now sets him apart from Mitchell Starc, and fans can’t stop talking about it.
Babar Azam to flaunt a Starc-ish 56, reinvented with a unique zero
Babar Azam's century drought may have ended, but his struggle with form is still going on. After being dropped from the shortest format of the game for the first time in his career, he returned in the T20Is in October. Even after his return, the Pakistani fans are still waiting for a classy T20 innings. Amidst this, he is set to start a new beginning.
As the Big Bash League is returning on December 14, Babar Azam is set to represent the Sydney Sixers. As the world is set to witness the former Pakistani player’s new innings, his unique jersey number stunned fans. With both Babar and Mitchell Starc sporting No. 56, the Sixers added a clever twist to set them apart.
The franchise already confirmed that Mitchell Starc will don the traditional number 56 jersey and twisted the same number in a creative way for Babar Azam. Keeping the number 56, they added a zero in the front, making it 056. The creativity grabbed the limelight as Babar will don the jersey number 056.
Big Bash League could end Babar Azam’s T20 woes
After 14 successful seasons, the Big Bash League is firmly moving towards the 15th edition as it is set to commence on December 14. Among the stars, some of Pakistan’s finest will dazzle fans on Australian soil. But the upcoming tournament will be extra crucial for Babar Azam.
Despite being one of the finest talents of Pakistan cricket, the rough patch of his international career troubled him a lot. He had been snubbed from the T20I side for a while before making a comeback in October. Despite a comeback, a stunning T20I comeback is still on hold.
As the T20 World Cup 2026 is just a few days away, Babar Azam’s place in the squad is still hanging in the balance. His upcoming stint with the Sydney Sixers could be a game-changer, if he rediscovers his form, he’s set to lock in his place in Pakistan’s T20I lineup. On the big stage of the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026, fans are anticipating for a ‘Babar Azam Show’.
