So many expecting a 24 year old to led this teams batting worries out of the hole it's in. When your openers aren't great and you have a middle/lower order that really aren't proper batsmen when comparing to the top 8 teams, what more is expected from this guy?
The worrying fact for Babar is, at the time he came into the team at he should have been the one getting guided by the team and the players around him, instead, people are expecting him to carry the other 5 batsmen in the team on his own.
Instead of focusing on the negatives, focus on the positives, Pakistan finally have one solid batsman in their team that has very few flaws (minus the ones that get nitpicked), instead of coming at him on a regular basis when he fails, the blame should go to the rest of the team that near enough fails every game.
Babar has things to improve on definitely, but calling him a mental midget as he tried to get runs in a powerplay off a freebie? Not sure how that constitutes to being a mental midget, if he blocked that ball, many would say he's too timid. He got out playing a poor shot it happens, the rest of top 6 did the same.
He's never going to be the biggest world beater with the attitude going round here, nor is he going to be when the rest of the batting unit barely performs.
Just at the age of 23 he had 8 ODI hundreds to his name, a 97* in a T20 and a 99 in Tests, along with a Champions Trophy medal scoring decently in a final vs Pakistan's fiercest rivals. That is very impressive early on his career. He's had a slight dip here and there, but too much is expected too soon.
