Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, has responded appropriately to the unwarranted criticism that has been leveled at him over his T20 strike rate, first with his deeds and then with his words.
In the second T20 international match between Pakistan and New Zealand on Saturday in Lahore, Babar scored an incredible century, leading Pakistan to a 38-run win.
He reached his third century in the shortest format with 101 runs from 58 balls, assisting his team in taking a 2-0 lead in the five-game series. On the last delivery of Pakistan’s inning, the skipper of that nation passed the three-digit threshold, and he enthusiastically celebrated his century after accomplishing the milestone.
After the game, presenter Zainab Abbas questioned Babar about if his enthusiastic celebration was directed at the “strike-rate brigade” who unjustly criticize him. With a big chuckle on his face, Babar remarked, “You can say so.” But I don’t keep thoughts of this nature in my head.

I adjust how I play to the circumstances, and I construct my innings based on what the team needs,” he continued. The Pakistani captain emphasized that, to him, achieving national victories was considerably more significant than achieving individual successes. “Personal milestones don’t worry me too much. I’m focused on giving my best effort so I can support the success of my team. Milestones are secondary to the team, he remarked.
But from a personal standpoint, you might argue that this was a unique hundred. It should be remembered that the right-hander smashed 11 boundaries and three sixes throughout his explosive innings to help Pakistan reach a whopping 192 runs. In response, New Zealand could only total 154/7 in their allotted 20 overs because to Haris Rauf’s consecutive four-for in two games. The Green Shirts’ following encounter is against the visitors on April 17 at the same location, followed by the last two games in Rawalpindi on April 20 and 24.
