Babar Azam drive vs IND (X.com)

Babar Azam is one of the finest batters in world cricket currently and has scored truckloads of runs across formats. However, Babar Azam's record vs India in ODI World Cups has not been too encouraging and before this World Cup 2023 clash At Ahmedabad, he was yet to score a fifty against India in a 50-Over World Cup.  He has ticked that box now in the 2023 World Cup with a well-compiled fifty under pressure.

Pakistan lost their first wicket in the 8th over with 41 runs on the board, and Babar Azam coming in at 3, started off positively, dismissing any weak delivery that came his way. Soon, Imam-ul-Haq also lost his wicket but Babar Azam build a solid third wicket stand with Rizwan and both of them managed to take Pakistan to safer shores. 

Babar Azam got to his fifty in the 29th over when Kuldeep Yadav bowled a juicy full toss on off and Babar creamed it beautifully through covers for a boundary. However, Siraj got rid of him in the in the very next over and it triggered a mini-collapse.
