"He Can't Speak...": Pace Great's Strange Reasoning On Babar Azam Not Becoming 'Biggest Brand' In Pakistan

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is arguably one of the finest cricketers in the world. In 95 ODI matches so far, Babar has smashed 4813 runs, laced with 17 centuries and 24 half-centuries. He even led Pakistan to the finals of 2022 Asia Cup and the T20 World Cup in the same year, where his side ended as the runners-up in both the events. However, the 28-year-old batter often gets trolled for his poor command over the English language as he fumbles during press conferences. Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar also criticised Babar for his poor communication skills.

In India, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar, has a huge fan base. Akhtar, who was named "Rawalpindi Express" after his hometown of Rawalpindi in Pakistan's Punjab region, was born there and has achieved much in cricket.

The former Pakistani fast bowler told that he was approached for the Bollywood director Mahesh Bhatt's crime-drama movie "Gangster" (2005) with the offer to play the lead role, as reported by The Express Tribune.

A few videos from the show, however, have already hit the internet and one of them is going viral. In a video from the show, Shoaib Akhtar asked a guest about the year in which Pakistan won the 1992 Cricket World Cup. Hilariously, the guest failed to answer that question.

"Might Crash Out In First Round": Shoaib Akhtar On Pakistan's T20 World Cup Chances

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has slammed head coach Saqlain Mushtaq and the team management after the Babar Azam-led side crumbled to a series defeat against England. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held in Australia, starting later this month, Akhtar wants the management to address the issues, especially the middle-order. Having led the series 3-2 at one point, Pakistan lost the last two T20Is in Lahore after a poor show with the bat, and conceded the series 3-4.

With the series tied at 2-2, the seven-match T20I series between Pakistan and England is all set for the a grand finish. The fourth T20I, which was the last in Karachi, saw Pakistan level the series with three games to go. With England needing 34 runs off the final three overs, Liam Dawson hit four fours and a six to all but seal the game for England. However, Rauf had other ideas as he dismissed Dawson and Olly Stone off consecutive deliveries to swing the match in Pakistan's favour.
