In the T20 World Cup, Pakistan suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the United States, prompting Indian commentators Harsha Bhogle and Irfan Pathan to question captain Babar Azam’s batting performance.
Played at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, the national team faced a shocking loss to the United States. In this match, captain Babar Azam broke Virat Kohli’s record for the highest run-scorer in T20 Internationals.
Babar Azam is now the second-highest run-scorer in the shortest format of the game, surpassing Kohli’s previous record. Before this, Kohli held the record with 4,438 runs, while Rohit Sharma was in third place with 4,274 runs.
Irfan Pathan tweeted, stating that despite being in a good batting position as captain if you’re playing 40+ balls at a strike rate of 100, it won’t benefit the team.
On the other hand, renowned Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle wrote that he has seen Babar Azam play many exceptional innings, but this 44 (43) won’t be included among them. He hasn’t been in good form in major tournaments.
It’s clear that the American team, participating in the tournament for the first time, has seized the top position on the points table by defeating Pakistan in the Super Over for the first time in history.
