According to reports, Babar Azam paid 7 lakhs for a designer Sabyasachi dress for his upcoming wedding later this year. Ahead of the big day, he has been shopping a lot in India. He purchased a customary sherwani, a common groomswear item in Pakistan and India. People were taken aback by this because he is currently participating in the World Cup. They want to know if he’s more focused on the wedding than the games. Babar also treated himself to some pricey jewelry. Fans in Pakistan are worried whether this is making him less focused on the competition.
According to a report on the One Cricket website, “Babar Azam extravagant purchase came at an even more unexpected time, as his wedding is scheduled for the end of this year.”
Babar Azam is being closely examined
Babar Azam has been the target of harsh criticism because of his ODI World Cup performance. The right-hand hitter was supposed to light up the competition with his batting, but he hasn’t performed similarly in the competition thus far. Not only have supporters criticized Azam’s batting and leadership, but also former Pakistani stars.
Babar Azam’s performance has been a source of concern for former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi, who stated that the current skipper does not guarantee match-winning performances like to those of Indian players Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. Pakistan has lost four of their last seven ODI World Cup matches, and they are in danger of being eliminated from the competition. Afridi highlighted that although Babar makes runs for the squad, he is not able to win games for them.
“There are two distinct things: Babar Azam scoring runs and Babar Azam scoring runs for a winning team. Observe the actions of KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. In an interview with SAMAA TV, Afridi stated, “They not only score runs but also play crucial innings that lead their teams to victory.”
He went on to emphasize the belief that Babar’s efforts will lead to Pakistan winning handily. However, Afridi highlighted the need for Babar to show a stronger tendency for leading the team to victory, especially in crucial matches where his fifties have not translated into game-changing victories for Pakistan. Babar’s recent World Cup record of 216 runs in seven matches at an average of 30.85 was cited.
