In this episode, former Team India cricketer Mohammad Kaif has also shared his views about him. 44 former Indian players believe that Babar Azam is still playing ODI cricket of the 1980s.

After the defeat in the important match, people have started criticizing him more. Kaif says about that innings that the 30 -year -old player batted at a very slow pace, while the team needed to score fast in that match because this is the demand in modern cricket.
Pakistani sports journalist Farid Khan quoted Kaif as saying, ‘Babar Azam still plays ODI cricket like the 1980s. Part time by putting only two boundaries against spinners, they score with single double in the middle overs. It does not work in modern cricket.
Talk about Babar Azam’s performance in the Champions Trophy 2025, the cricket lovers had high hopes from him here, but he had failed to show something special. During the tournament, he got a chance to bat in two matches. During this time, he was able to score 87 runs in two innings at an average of 43.50.
