Babar Azam, one of Pakistan’s top batters, is going through a tough time in his 13-year career.
Known for his consistent performances, Babar has not scored an international century in nearly two years—his last one was against Nepal in August 2023. While he has hit a few fifties since then, fans are growing concerned about his form.
After scoring 569 runs in the last season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), expectations were high for Babar in PSL 2025. Fans hoped he would not only score big but also end his century drought. However, things have not gone as planned.
Babar Azam during this PSL
In the first three matches of PSL 2025, Babar Azam scored just 0, 1, and 2 runs. This is the first time in his T20 career that he’s had three consecutive scores under three runs. These low scores have shocked fans and raised questions about his form.
Despite Peshawar Zalmi winning one of their matches, pressure is mounting on their captain to step up. Supporters still believe in Babar’s talent and are hoping he can bounce back soon, lead from the front, and help his team push for PSL glory.
