Ahmed Shehzad rips apart Babar Azam over his poor stats in T20Is; labels Pakistan captain as ‘fake king’

Ahmed Shehzad lambasts Babar Azam

Babar Azam, the current captain of the Pakistan cricket team, enjoys immense popularity and adoration among cricket fans around the world. Often referred to as the ‘King’ by his admirers, Babar has built a reputation for his elegant batting style and consistent performances across formats.

Criticism over T20I performance

Despite his widespread acclaim, Babar has faced criticism for his performance in T20 Internationals. Concerns have been raised about his strike rate and overall impact in major tournaments. Critics argue that his statistics do not match the expectations set by his title as one of the premier batters in the world.

Ahmed Shehzad’s harsh take

Former Pakistan opener Ahmed Shehzad has been particularly vocal in his critique of Babar. Shehzad recently accused Babar of having inflated statistics that do not reflect his actual performance in crucial matches. In a video shared by Geo News, Shehzad highlighted several areas where he believes Babar has underperformed and even claimed that Babar is a fake king.

“You have a strike rate of 112. You have an average of 26 in ICC events. You have played 207 balls in the powerplay but haven’t hit a single six. I think my stats from eight years ago are better than yours. You are a fake King! We play to help win Pakistan tournaments but you are only making a fool of fans on social media with your stats,” said Shehzad in a video shared by Geo News.

More accusations on Babar

Furthermore, Shehzad alleged that Babar has deliberately excluded deserving domestic players to maintain personal relationships with certain underperforming players. He called for Babar to take responsibility for his lack of success in bringing trophies to Pakistan.

“The least you can do now is raise your hand and say that ‘I was given all the support and resources from PCB. I got the players that I wanted but I couldn’t deliver silverware for Pakistan. I am really sorry.’ Now it is your time to go back to domestic cricket to improve your stats and then come back in the Pakistan team,” added Shehzad.
