Babar Azam is the highest run-scorer in the history of international T20 cricket. But when it comes to strike rate, Babar is counted among the worst T20 batsmen. If we look at the entire history of T20 World Cup, Babar is the player batting with the worst strike rate. His strike rate in the World Cup is only 112.33. Now the situation is such that former Pakistani cricketer has been seen insulting Babar Azam on live TV.
Let us tell you that there is going to be a big clash between India and Pakistan on 15 February in the 2026 T20 World Cup. Regarding this, former Pakistani cricketers Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Aamir and Rashid Latif made different and unique claims and insulted Babar Azam in their conversations.
Gross insult to Babar Azam
While discussing a Pakistani show, Ahmed Shehzad first said that if Babar Azam plays a match-winning innings against India, then the entire crowd present in the show will get free food from him. Whereas Rashid Latif clearly said that Babar is not able to bat for such a long time anyway.
So I’ll take retirement back
The host of the show placed a condition and said that if Babar Azam played a match-winning inning against India with a strike rate of 160 or more, then Aamir would take out his retirement. However, Aamir changed this condition and said that scoring 8 runs in 2 balls, such an innings with a strike rate of 400 will not be considered.
In the end, Mohammad Aamir also agreed that if Babar Azam plays a match-winning innings by scoring fifty plus runs at a strike rate of more than 150 on 15th February, then he will consider taking back retirement. Let us tell you that Aamir retired again in December 2024, before that he had announced retirement in 2020, but came back for the 2024 T20 World Cup.
