As Karachi Kings continues its losing streak in PSL 7, fans still cannot stop rooting for Babar Azam. Although the team has been performing poorly, the skipper Babar Azam has maintained his A-game throughout the tournament. Fans are pointing out that it seems like Babar is the one carrying the whole team and the reality doesn’t seem too far from their claims.
Babar Azam’s long list of credentials is a testament to his brilliance in itself and he has been sticking true to his number 1 place in ICC ranking for ODI and T20 batsmen.
In fact, he set a new record in PSL during last night’s match against Islamabad United by taking three jaw-dropping catches and becoming the first non-wicketkeeping fielder to take 35 catches.
Karachi Kings as a franchise is known to do things on a grander scale, from getting the biggest singers to sing the anthem to getting high profile players to be on this team. However, this time, something seems to be going wrong, except Babar Azam!
We, as a nation, are quick to bash anything and anyone as soon as there is a minor fall from grace, however, Babar Azam’s eminence can be judged by the fact that the Twitterati is busy showering love and support on him and the app is flooded with tweets defending him, (despite the team’s lackluster performance). Let’s see what fans are saying!
