Shoaib Akhtar Slams Babar Azam After India's T20 World Cup Triumph
Former pacer criticises Pakistan's performance post 61-run defeat to India.
In the aftermath of India's emphatic 61-run victory over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup, Shoaib Akhtar did not hold back. The former speedster took aim at both Babar Azam and the team's overall performance, suggesting they fell short against a determined Indian side led by Suryakumar Yadav.
Akhtar's comments reflect the frustration felt by many Pakistani fans, who expected a stronger showing against their arch-rivals. He emphasised that India, now defending champions, showcased their prowess and strategy, leaving Pakistan with much to ponder as they regroup.
With the stakes high in the T20 World Cup, Akhtar's critique serves as a wake-up call for the Pakistan team. As they look to bounce back, the pressure mounts on Babar Azam to rally his squad and deliver in the upcoming matches.
