Because he can play a few cute cover drives during the powerplay which gives his fans orgasam. He is completely useless in the post powerplay phase of the game. Can't hit sixes, zero game awareness, terrible fitness.
What’s this? He fancies you?
Everyone is responsible for their own success. Coach can do x y z, but to let Ego get the best of you cause you can play a very attractive looking cover drive and then think you're a GOAT is what is wrong with him. Each time I watch Babar play, I usually see him play at his own tempo, regardless of what the team requires. This was the case in the begining too ... it's just that most fans had their eyes closed and were in love with him.
I refrained from mentioning to avoid controversy. Anyways, it's up to Pakistani fans to acknowledge the reality and manage their expectations.
Babar was also being manipulated by Rizwan. It’s very much Celebrimbor+Annatar analogy.
Rizwan has the biggest role to play
This is true
He’s in it for the money when he’s still hireable
That's cruel mate.patidar was useless in eng test series. Babar is in free downfall I agree
Raja years are the second biggest black spot after spot fixing in our not so glorious last fifteen years of international cricket when Wasim Khan and Mani left we had two potential superstars Babar and Shaheen finding their feet and coming in their own in last two years and ready to take on the best and then Raja got involved in their brand building and got their focus away from the game and here we are now .
Don't worry, 2025 ain't over yet
He is suffering from broken heart syndrome .
Strange..you are saying pathetic fitness..however in X, ppl like following journalist are comparing him with Hollywood actors..he is even called Male beauty..
This could be the exact reason. It worked for him when he could bat at a pace he's comfortable with and then someone else does the scoring. He almost always anchored the innings.
Sanga peaked when he was 32-33.
Sangakkara and Babar are not in the same league
Really Nice & Apt Analysis.
Acha.
Sanga scored 4 100s in 2015 WC in Australia and retired from ODIs, that was his legacy. He wasn't selfishSangakkara and Babar are not in the same league
Sanga is an all time great who has single-handedly won big matches and has many valuable tons and double centuries especially in tests.
Babar has never been a test great, did well in ODIs initially but now his ODI form is dipping aswell.
Just compare the competitive level of bowling Sangakkara faced vs Babar who has mainly scored vs B and C sides in Asian conditions.
Also Sanga was a wicket keeper batsman for most almost a decade into his career until 2009, and kept wickets in T20is until his retirement in 2014 after SL won the T20 wc. His stats could have been even better if he played purely as a batsman throughout his career.
He had an enormous all round effect on SL cricket including successful captaincy stints aswell. Babar is no where near Sanga.
Yeah sure - that pic is indeed showing great fitness levels. We all know who controls all those accounts.Strange..you are saying pathetic fitness..however in X, ppl like following journalist are comparing him with Hollywood actors..he is even called Male beauty..
He should call Peshawar or Sui Gas. They will take him happily and worship him.
There are no $$$$ in that.
Better players have faced greater pressure and have come out on top. It’s all part and parcel of the game.
Shaheen is as toxic as they come.
I have bigger muscles than thatStrange..you are saying pathetic fitness..however in X, ppl like following journalist are comparing him with Hollywood actors..he is even called Male beauty..
Yes just like the new heights QG has been experiencing under Sarfraz since 2020. Sorry to burst your bubble but Sarfraz was never the messiah.
He doesn't have a very bright father either who loves to sneak in the limelight. The whole family including Akmals is weird.
Safi has won a PSL trophy, the same cannot be said about Zimbu
Sangakkara is better than Kohli and Tendulkar. You cannot compare Babar with him.Sangakkara and Babar are not in the same league

u-19 wc was good but isn't really something to write home about as we have always had age fudgers in age level competitions. Our team not winning any afterwards is a damning indictment of our talent level rather than brilliant "captaincy" of Saifi.
The difference is that Sanga is educated and from one of the best schools in the island, and the level of education in general is pretty good in sri Lanka, especially since it's a small country. Of course you have idiots like Kusal Mendis and this new tattoo brigade, but you know what I mean.Sangakkara and Babar are not in the same league

Sanga was a different breed. The guy who knew his game inside out. And he kept adding dimensions to his game. His SR and avg steadily increased from 2005 onwards.
