Adam Gilchrist on Babar Azam’s batting: Pakistan’s famous players have participated in the Big Bash League. Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam has also joined this league but he has not performed very well in this league. Therefore, he has been trolled extensively on social media as well as by some cricket experts. Babar Azam scored a powerful knock of 58 off 46 balls in the match against Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League.
Babar stayed at the crease till the end and guided the Sydney Sixers to a 6-wicket win. It was the former Pakistan captain’s first half-century in the tournament. While Babar’s sensible innings has been praised, Adam Gilchrist has openly insulted him during a live match.

Gilchrist insulted Babar!
Actually, Babar Azam was batting for Sydney Sixers and he was scoring at a slow pace. Gilchrist did not like Babar’s style of batting in T20Is. Commenting, the former Kangaroos batsman criticized Babar’s slow batting. Gilchrist said on air that Babar’s limited power range hampered his boundary options.
Gilchrist said Babar’s slow batting unintentionally puts pressure on the batsman at the other end and forces him to take risks. Gilchrist said the Pakistani batsman needed to work on his strike rate; He cannot take one run after another and leave the rest to other batsmen.
Adam Gilchrist also called out Babar Azam slow batting in T20s during today’s match.
• His limited power range restricts his boundary options.
• He must be proactive himself, not outsource the SR.
• His run-a-ball approach unfairly pressures his partner to take risks. pic.twitter.com/ahfYJNgSyO— The PCT Army.
