In the final showdown of the three-match T20I series between Pakistan and Australia at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart, Pakistan captain Babar Azam once again found himself under the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Although he seemed determined to guide his team to a strong finish, he was dismissed after a well-fought knock of 41 runs off 28 balls.
However, this performance was not enough to silence critics, and social media erupted in heated debates over Babar's recent form.
Fans Took A Brutal Dig At Babar Azam's Form
After Babar Azam's dismissal fans were divided of their opinion. Despite showing glimpses of his class, Babar has been unable to convert his starts into big scores lately, leading to frustration among the fans. His failure to reach a half-century in his last seven international innings has intensified the scrutiny.
On social media, fans quickly took sides. While many remained staunch supporters of the star batter, urging patience and expressing confidence in his ability to bounce back, others were far more critical, suggesting that it might be time for Babar to step away from the shortest format to benefit the team.
One section of fans firmly believes that Babar Azam's lean patch is temporary. They argue that every great player goes through phases of inconsistency and that Babar has the potential to make a strong comeback.
However, not all fans were as forgiving. Many have grown impatient with Babar's inability to deliver match-winning performances. His struggles in the recent series against Australia — where he managed scores of 37, 15, and 28 in the ODIs and followed it up with single-digit scores in the first two T20Is — have left some questioning his place in the T20I side.
In this article take a look at some twitter reactions on Babar Azam's poor display of batting in the ongoing the third T20I match against Australia.
