Babar Azam even in his peak averaged around 25 in that 6-7m good length/hard length on 4th-5th stump channel. Now, it's down to 17 since 2022. Earlier 35% deliveries were bowled to him in that channel, now it's 60%+. So, to counter that he started shuffling more towards the off side to cut that Caught Behind/Slips/edges dismissals kind of similar to Smith. But he doesn't have those amazing wrists like Smith to play those flicks through midwicket and cut that LBW dismissals entirely. That's why lately you see a lot of bolds and LBWs with Babar. Now, he needs to develop some counter attacking shots to put bowlers off that length while going back to his original trigger movement.
I don't see Pakistan revolutionize their T20 batting, so we next best thing is steady evolution. I say keep Babar as opener, Agha at 3 or 4. Surround them with Saim, Haider, Talat, Niazi, Qasim, Shadab etc. Similarly, develop Abrar, Sufyan, Faisal to compliment part time finger spinners in top 6. Jamal as genuine #7, rely on him to give 2 overs instead of 4.
Wahi bhai mai aur bhi pakistani youtubers ko dekh raha tha bahut log khud pakistan se bahar hain lekin india ko bol rahe jana chahiye😂😂pehle khud to jayen ye log apni country.
@@jay-du2wcno but like they came to India last year, like it’ll be the same thing for India if they go to Pakistan! It’s not an unsafe country….if Ken abroad(who lives in Jakarta Indonesia) and drew binsky can go so can India(like one the Pakistani u19 players mimics kuldeep yadav’s action)
@@vishvajitkumar9497the language(Urdu and Hindi) is basically the same! The streets of Karachi Lahore and Delhi lucknow are the same…..Pakistan basically uses the same water lines as north India does….why should they be scared of one another
Why you guys always against babar ? I know you guys like haris but haris will perform in 1 match out of 10 too much inconsistent player he is and babar provides you stability and consistency and currently he's in the top 3 high strike rate player in Pakistan current T20i so first go and check some stats before you bark
Are you guys srsly shoe horning babe into the T20 team?? Bro ik he's a good player but I don't think t20 is for him. Rizwan can take the anchor role and the captain role. I'm happy with Rizwan as a captain
Pakistan team lacks good hitters and players who have domestic experience even Pakistani bolwers in their prime they are not good enough to take wickets in test or odi's. So pakistani odi bowlers needs replacements like mir hamza and khurram who has good experience of dwlomestic and line lenghth of wicket taking deleveries.
My 11 for 2026 T20 WC: Saim Ayub M Haris (C) Babar Azam as player or Rizwan as Captain Fakhar Zaman Iftikhar Ahmed Shadab Khan Sufiyan Muqeem Haris Rauf Abbas Afridi Shaheen Afridi M Hasnain Naseem, Nawaz, Jahandad on bench.!!

Bro where did you get this stat from? Sounds insightful.
@@backwardpointpod Cousin of mine works as an analyst for a Domestic team. He has got access to all the Hawkeye data on cricviz.
26:38 dude kl is as genuine a opener as they come.all his life he has opened its only in indian team that he plays 5/6

I hope we get a retro jersey or a throwback jersey for 2026 World Cup
That would be sweet!
Maybe Babar and Rizwan can wear the 2021 jersey again and then retire
Who should be the Captain of the Pakistan t20 team in your opinion?
Unanswerable questions, unfortunately
Please please please please go to Pakistan! It’s just like India…..there’s nothing they should be scared about.

Honestly, we love Babar on this pod
Pakistani are still obsessed with Virat Kohli comparison with babar azam😂😂😂😂
Virat is the GOAT.
