Do you know how many times Babar has chased 160 totals? Before commenting don't you think you need a little research to do?

You can’t discard Farhan especially how he performed in pressure games vs India . He has to be backed for Wt20. Saim is a lottery
No way Farhan should get any game at the world t20.
Teams will play their full strength sides and he will be a total dud against half decent bowling.
He has absolutely no shots apart from closing his eyes and slogging towards the leg side. Apart from that he just plays dots. No offside game and no other shot.
This tukka shot has worked a couple of times but mostly he has only failed and batted at pathetic strike rate and low average. No good team is going to give him room and let him score.

Unfortunately his game won't make him survive long-term.
Enlighten me with your fact finding research

A very limited player for me. Pakistan has witnessed better batsmen with far superior technique.
He will not make the 11 for Top 4 teams now. So, calling him KING looked comical from past 3-4 years. But he is a better player than most Pakistan batsmen and should easily walk-into the ODIs and tests. T20s should strictly depend on the pitch. He is not someone who find the gaps regularly nor hits lifted shots, so doesn't fit into T20s on flat surfaces. His only utility is when Pakistan bowls well and restricts the opposition. That tells you his utility in the team. But sadly, Pakistan doesn't have much options.
What really surprised me is his red ball performances. He has gone so bad. His peak is very low and now if we call his form as a Low, then he is strictly mediocre. He needs to have a legendary breakthrough averaging 60+ to be even considered as a potential great in Tests

I do think he's a good test batsman. Might even end up being a better test batsman than Kohli (seeing the comparisons between the both so much) but that's more the mark of how much Kohli has declined rather than how babar has improved.
But he's too passive and reactive as a batsman. Seems to second guess always and is always relatively easy to set fields to.

Won’t end up better than Kohli.
Kohli averaged 55 before declining and still has 30 100s at an average of 46.9.
Babar’s peak was 49 that too aided by flat pitches where he was outbatted by Khawaja, Brook etc.
Now that Pakistan has embarked on this dustbowl strategy his average will come down further.
Mind end up worse than Rahane/Shafiq etc.

Nope, people who have something to share, share them, instead of vague posting like a teen on Facebook and then asking others to search for it
The onus is always on the person who claims something to demonstrate that claim.

Who said anything about international batters... It was for people who are calling him zimbabar everywhere... his runs are against SENA>.. more than 58%.... isn't it enough>
I don’t get the point you are trying to make.
I suggest if you do not have anything constructive to say then keep your time wasting one liners to yourself.

Ik dam waqt aur jazbaat badl diye?
On top of it, he played 90% of his matches as opener to attain that sr
