Notably, Pakistan suffered a shocking 10-wicket loss against Bangladesh in the first Test at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi. Babar couldn't do much to save his team from a loss registering scores of 0 and 22. but was given a reprieve by Litton Das. However, that didn't help Pakistan's cause as they succumbed to their maiden Test defeat against Bangladesh. Following their loss, there has been widespread criticism of Babar owing to his poor form. Ramiz Raja jumped to his defence and mentioned that his form has drawn scrutiny due to his massive stature in Pakistan cricket. He also highlighted that the emergence of social media has made players more susceptible to criticism which should be discouraged. "It seems the entire nation does not have a problem with anything except the form of Babar Azam. Unfortunately, what happens is when you lose a match and you have not scored runs and if you are Babar Azam, then you become a headline - How did we lose? What did he do? What was his contribution? And then this is the era of social media. Anybody can criticize and ridicule anyone, this should be discouraged as much as possible," Ramiz said on his YouTube channel. Babar has been a big player in all three formats: Ramiz Raja Further speaking ahead, Raja called Babar a stalwart of all three formats. "Cricket is in our blood but don't know for how long if we continue to lose matches like this in Test cricket. Fan following increases with wins and fans identify themselves with success stories. Babar Azam has had a famous success story. There is no doubt that he has been a big player in all three formats," he said. Babar is without a half-century in the last 14 innings of Test cricket having scored 289 runs in the same time period at an average of 20.64 with a highest score of 41. in the latest ICC Test batting rankings. He will be eager to make a comeback in the second Test as Pakistan will be desperate to avoid a series loss against the Bangla Tigers.
