The Complete In-Depth Data Analysis of Babar Azam’s T20 Career

Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan’s T20 team, is undoubtedly one of the best batters in the world. However, his strike rate in the T20 format has often been a point of criticism. Many have argued that Babar’s slow-paced batting is not well-suited for the fast-paced nature of T20 cricket. Despite scoring over 4000 runs in T20Is, Babar’s batting approach has come under fire amid Pakistan’s failure to post big scores in recent years. His pragmatic style during the powerplay overs, where he has a surprisingly low strike rate of just 86.91 in T20 World Cup innings, has been a major topic of discussion.

Some experts have even gone as far as saying Babar should not play T20 cricket at all due to his inability to consistently clear the boundary, especially during the powerplay. However, a closer look at Babar’s numbers reveals an anomaly – he has an impressive 11 centuries in T20 cricket. This suggests his batting may be more well-suited to the format than commonly perceived.
