Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam is in blistering form ahead of the Asia Cup 2022. Men in Green are on the tour of the Netherlands where Babar scored 203 runs in three matches with the help of three fifties and an average of 101.50. However, Babar could not score at a higher strike rate than 80. And this left Pakistan cricket fans in dilemma. Pakistan's skipper has been criticized by many cricket pundits for his poor strike rate even in T20Is. Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq also said that Babar needs to score runs at a higher strike rate if he wants to be number one in T20Is.
