I have no doubt that Babar Azam is one of the best batsmen in the world today. I am a Bangladeshi yet I consider Babar Azam a legend and believe that he is definitely one of the best.
At yesterday's match again Lahore Qalandars had some issues in their bowling and batting but when the match was started Shaheen Shah Afridi came to the ball first so as he out Rizwan at the fourth ball of the very first over. After this, Lahore Qalandars got confidence but nothing special because, in the end, they had a luck to lose.
By the way, in the whole match, the crowd chants ''
Babar Babar'' but Babar Azam is not playing in that match, and how loudly they speak Babar, you can listen easily on your TV. I don't think so that in cricket any player who can beat
Babar Azam fans following. That sound was too loud even the crowd want that this sound will go to
Babar Azam's house.
Well.. I had mentioned about this quite sometime back. Shaheen Shah Afridi is not exactly leader material. Neither for the Pakistan national team, nor for the Lahore Qalandars. His tactics are not working and he doesn't have the capability to perform under pressure. Lahore Qalandars do have good players such as Fakhar Zaman, Sikandar Raza and Carlos Brathwaite who can be considered for the captain post. Even Rassie van der Dussen is a good choice, when compared to Shaheen. Let Shaheen focus on his bowling and don't get overburdened by the captainship responsibilities.
At yesterday's match on the mid-over or death over. Shaheen Shah Afridi came on the bowling, I think that was the 16th over but Shaheen doing the ball to Iftikhar Ahmed and Iftikhar Ahmed couldn't play the ball of Shaheen Shah Afridi where Shaheen did a bouncer to Iftikhar Ahmed after this on the next two balls Iftikhar Ahmed came at angry mood and just focus to take revenge with him.
That was a small fight between them but also Shaheen Shah Afridi wanted to take revenge again but he was not able to out him that's why this revenge will remain and maybe in the upcoming matches, we will see Shaheen's revenge.
