Babar Azam, the young and talented Pakistani cricketer, has once again proved his mettle on the field. Despite facing trolling from his former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed, Babar Azam went on to bat till the 50th over and completed a century in the PAK One Day Cup. This remarkable feat has not only silenced his critics but has also shown his determination and resilience as a player.
The incident took place during the match between Central Punjab and Sindh in the PAK One Day Cup. Babar Azam, who was leading the Central Punjab team, was in top form and was batting brilliantly. However, his former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed, who was playing for Sindh, tried to distract him by shouting “Babar Babar krne do” (Let Babar do it) from behind the stumps. This was seen as a sarcastic comment by many, as Sarfaraz was known for his captaincy skills and was replaced by Babar Azam as the captain of the Pakistan cricket team.
But Babar Azam, being the true professional that he is, did not let the trolling affect his game. He continued to focus on his batting and went on to score a brilliant century. His innings of 112 runs off 108 balls not only helped his team to a comfortable victory but also earned him the Man of the Match award. This was his 12th century in List A cricket and his 3rd century in the PAK One Day Cup.
Babar Azam’s performance in the PAK One Day Cup has been exceptional so far. He has scored 221 runs in just 3 matches at an average of 73.66. His consistency and ability to score runs in all formats of the game have made him one of the best batsmen in the world. He is currently ranked as the number one batsman in the ICC ODI rankings and is also in the top 5 in the T20I rankings.
Despite his impressive stats and performances, Babar Azam has often faced criticism and comparisons with other great Pakistani batsmen like Inzamam-ul-Haq and Javed Miandad. But he has always remained unfazed and has let his bat do the talking. His calm and composed demeanor on the field has earned him the nickname “Mr. Consistent” among his teammates and fans.
Babar Azam’s journey to success has not been an easy one. He hails from a small town in Punjab and had to face financial struggles in his early days. But his passion and hard work for the game have brought him to where he is today. He made his international debut in 2015 and has since then become an integral part of the Pakistan cricket team. His hunger for runs and his ability to adapt to different conditions have made him a valuable asset for his team.
The incident of Sarfaraz Ahmed trolling Babar Azam during the PAK One Day Cup has sparked a debate among cricket fans. While some have criticized Sarfaraz for his behavior, others have praised Babar Azam for his maturity and professionalism. But what stands out is Babar Azam’s determination to prove his worth on the field, despite facing such distractions.
In conclusion, Babar Azam’s century in the PAK One Day Cup is not just a milestone in his career, but it is also a testament to his character and resilience. He has once again shown that he is a true champion and a role model for young cricketers. As he continues to break records and win matches for his team, it is safe to say that the future of Pakistani cricket is in safe hands with Babar Azam at the helm. Let us all support and appreciate this talented cricketer who has made his country proud on numerous occasions.
