Rizwan Backs Babar Amidst Form Dip
Rizwan's support for Babar highlights the challenges of living up to high expectations in international cricket, and the importance of experience and confidence in overcoming form dips. As the team looks to the final, Babar's return to form will be crucial in determining their success.
Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan has come out in support of Babar Azam, stating that the star batter is still contributing valuably to the team despite his recent poor form, which Rizwan attributes to the high expectations placed on him due to his past performances.
Rizwan believes that Babar has become a victim of his own success, with the pressure of living up to his previous achievements affecting his current form. However, he is confident that Babar will bounce back, citing his experience in handling pressure as a key factor in his potential return to form. Babar has been promoted to open the batting in the current series, and while his consistency has dipped, he is still scoring runs.
The Pakistan captain has expressed confidence in Babar's ability to open the batting, but has also hinted that other players, such as Saim Ayub, can fill the role if needed. With the ODI tri-series final against New Zealand approaching, Rizwan's support for Babar is a significant boost to the team's morale. Babar's struggles in the series, with only two fifty-plus scores in his last seven innings, have been a concern, but Rizwan's backing suggests that the team remains confident in his abilities.
As Pakistan prepares to face New Zealand in the final, Rizwan's comments will be seen as a vote of confidence in Babar's abilities, and the team will be hoping that their star batter can regain his form and lead them to victory. With the pressure of the final looming, Babar will be looking to prove Rizwan right and silence his critics with a strong performance.
