Instead of discussing cricket, the panel focused on Babar Azam's wedding. His photo was displayed on the screen as the panel talked about his marriage.
One panelist joked that getting married might improve Babar's strike rate, prompting laughter from the others. The female panelist was even asked if she knew anyone for Babar to marry.
It was unusual for a cricket panel to troll the Pakistan captain over his marital status. However, at the moment, Babar Azam is being trolled from all sides.
Will Babar Azam step down from captaincy to improve his batting?
Babar Azam has not been at his best in the T20I format for a while. His strike rate has been slow, and he played a sluggish innings in this T20 World Cup against the USA, a match Pakistan lost, contributing to their elimination.
Many former players, including Shoaib Malik, have suggested that Babar Azam step down from captaincy to focus on his batting. Ultimately, the decision on the captaincy rests with Babar and the PCB.
There have been insider talks about groupism within the Pakistan team. Players like Ahmed Shehzad have criticized Babar Azam multiple times regarding this issue.
It's said that Mohammad Rizwan has captaincy ambitions, while Shaheen Afridi was unhappy about being removed from the captaincy.
