“I can’t play in everyone’s place”, Babar Azam furious at Pakistan’s shameful exit from T20 World Cup, lashed out at the entire team
The Pakistan cricket team led by Babar Azam has had a shameful exit from the T20 World Cup 2024. This time even the law of nature could not save their sinking boat. Despite being in the group of teams like India, Ireland, USA and Canada, Pakistan has not been able to qualify for the Super-8. On Sunday, the Pakistani team somehow defeated Ireland as well, after which Babar Azam's big reaction has come to the fore. In which he has lashed out at his teammates.
Babar Azam got angry at fellow players
- Slow pitch, big ground and better bowling. These 3 aspects are making them the strongest team ahead of T20 World Cup 2024.
- Cricket pundits even said that Pakistan is a strong contender for the trophy and will definitely play the final.
- But the opposite happened, after losing to America and then India, Babar Azam's team left its fate in someone else's hands.
Then the dream of going to the Super-8 was shattered.
- Pakistan played the last match against Ireland after which Babar Azam criticized them in strong words and said that I cannot play in everyone's place. He said,
“As a captain, I cannot go and play in everyone’s place.
We have lost as a team. It would not be right to point fingers at any one player.”
Discord became the reason for Pakistan's defeat
- Even before the start of the T20 World Cup 2024, there was turmoil in the Pakistan team.
- Firstly, Shaheen Afridi was removed from the captaincy and this responsibility was again given to Babar Azam.
- Even after this, nothing good happened. First Ireland and then England gave Pakistan a tough time.
- Apart from this, news of differences in the team also kept coming out, the result of all this was that the tickets of Pakistani players to their homes were booked even before their last match.
Babar Azam himself also disappointed
- Babar Azam said that he cannot play in place of every player.
- But in the T20 World Cup 2024, he has also not done anything particularly good.
- He scored 122 runs in 4 matches and that too with a shameful strike rate of 101.
This story is not of this T20 World Cup only.
- In the history of T20 World Cup, he has scored 549 runs in 17 innings, during which his strike rate was only 111.
- Apart from this, big questions have been raised in the captaincy, even though the Pakistan team played the final in 2022, but that too when the Netherlands defeated South Africa.
- Now there is a big question mark on whether Babar will continue to be the captain or not.
