Pakistan's journey in the T20 World Cup 2024 has come to an end. Its game ended at the group stage itself. Pakistan could not have suffered a worse humiliation than this in this big battle of the ICC. But, if the command of the team is in the hands of a player who is not capable of playing T20 cricket for Pakistan, then what else can happen? In such a situation, Pakistan had to be out of the group stage.

In the T20 World Cup 2024, neither Babar Azam's batting nor his captaincy worked. He flopped like a novice on both fronts. The limit was crossed when Pakistan had to face defeat from the USA team playing its first T20 World Cup. Out of the 4 matches played in the group stage, Pakistan could win only 2 matches, that too against weak teams like Canada and Ireland. Ireland had left Pakistan yearning for victory.

A captain who is afraid to take responsibility for poor performance!

What Babar Azam said after Pakistan's exit from T20 World Cup 2024 was even more interesting.

He said that we did not lose because of any one player. This is the defeat of the whole team. I am the captain, it does not mean that I can play in place of the other 10 players. There are 11 players in the team and everyone has their own role.

Usually the captains of the teams take full responsibility for the defeat. But, Babar Azam's statement clearly shows that he is avoiding it. He does not want to take the entire blame for the embarrassment in the T20 World Cup 2024. In simple words, this statement seems to highlight the cowardly image of captain Babar Azam.

Don't know your own game, will you play in place of others?

By the way, who asked Babar Azam to play in place of other players? If he had played his game well in the T20 World Cup 2024, it could have benefited Pakistan. But the Pakistani captain did not do that either? He did score 122 runs in 4 innings played in the group stage, but his strike rate of 101.66 is such that you will cry.

Play Tests, not T20 cricket: Srikkanth

That is why former Indian cricketer Srikkanth says that this simple batting will not work.

According to him, Babar can be a good Test cricketer. But, he is not capable of playing T20 cricket. Srikkanth said that Babar Azam will have more than 4000 runs in T20 International cricket like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. But, where is the strike rate?

Shots fired! Kris Srikkanth throws some serious shade at #Pakistanskipper #BabarAzamcalling out his lacklustre strike rate in the T20 format!

This figure will shock you!

Now we will tell you such a statistic related to Babar Azam, after which you will be shocked. And, maybe you will also believe that this player is not capable of T20 cricket. Babar Azam either opens or plays first down in T20 cricket for Pakistan. But, in the 3 T20 World Cups played so far, Babar Azam has not hit a single six in the powerplay. Whereas during this time he has faced 207 balls. Now in which white ball team of modern day cricket can a player with such intentions fit?
