"Ego Issue Or Too Shy...": Pakistan Great Gives Scathing Verdict On Babar Azam
Legendary Pakistan cricketer Zaheer Abbas believes that Babar Azam is either an egotist or too shy too seek advice from former players, who perhaps can help him get back to form by sorting out the technical flaws in his batting. Zaheer, who scored 100 first class centuries in his career said that Babar needed to sit down and talk to his seniors. "I think either Babar has an ego issue or is too shy to seek advice from his seniors in overcoming his current situation," Zaheer said. Zaheer said there were many instances where Pakistani and Indian players had sought advice from each other when going through a bad patch.
Babar Azam Backed To Be In Same League As 'Viv Richards, Garry Sobers' And 'Bigger Than Virat Kohli'
It has been a tough couple of years for Pakistan cricket team batter Babar Azam. Babar, who was once rated as one of the top batters in the world, has been struggling to score runs in all three formats and his poor show in ICC competitions has resulted in massive criticism from both fans as well as experts. The star batter was even dropped from the Pakistan side following their dismal Champions Trophy campaign. However, Pakistan Super League (PSL) side Karachi Kings owner Salman Iqbal has backed Babar to bounce back and become a bigger cricketer than Virat Kohli. Iqbal went on to say that Babar may ended up matching legends like Sir Viv Richards and Sir Garfield Sobers.

"Either Babar Azam Has An Ego Issue Or...": Ex-Pakistan Captain On Star's Lack Of Form
As Babar Azam's flop show with the bat continues, former Pakistan captain Zaheer Abbas has suggested that the star batter should seek help from senior players. While talking about Babar's poor form, Zaheer said that either the batter has an ego issue or he is too shy to ask for advice from his seniors. Babar continues to labour for runs after his dry spell in international cricket. Since his 151-run blitzkrieg against Nepal in August 2023, Babar is yet to score a century for Pakistan. His lack of form is also evident during the ongoing Pakistan Super League as well. The right-handed batter, who is leading Peshawar Zalmi in PSL, has scored 0 and 1 across two innings in the season so far.

"Who Left A Legacy, You?": Pakistan Legend Shoaib Akhtar Hits Back At Mohammad Hafeez
