Babar Azam: Pakistan cricket team has to play its last Super 4 match of Asia Cup 2023 with Sri Lanka. This match is very important not only for Pakistan but also for Sri Lanka. Whichever team wins will directly qualify for the finals. Before the match against Sri Lanka, Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam is going to be seen in a different form. He will be seen playing 3 important roles in this important match. The video of his bowling practice is also going viral very fast.
Babar practiced bowling vigorously in the nets.
A video from the practice session of Pakistan cricket team before the match against Sri Lanka is going viral in which captain Babar Azam is seen bowling. He is practicing spin bowling. Babar Azam is not often seen bowling, but looking at his practice, it is being speculated that it is possible that he may take up the responsibility of bowling along with captaincy and batting against Sri Lanka and bowl a few overs if necessary.

Why was there a need for bowling?
Sri Lanka’s pitch is helpful to spin bowlers. Kuldeep Yadav of India and Dunith Vellalage of Sri Lanka have bowled amazingly. But Pakistan’s Shadab Khan has not been successful in performing like this. On the other hand, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah are also not part of Pakistan’s playing XI. In such a situation, along with the inclusion of Mohammad Nawaz in the team, Babar Azam is also practicing bowling so that if needed, he can bowl a few overs.
Tough test for Babar Azam
Babar Azam’s captaincy and batting have always been the subject of criticism. Babar Azam, who always takes weak decisions as a captain in difficult situations, always fails in big matches as a batsman. He did not play in the last match against India also. If Babar Azam, who failed as a captain and batsman in T20 World Cup 2021, T20 World Cup 2022, Asia Cup 2022, is not able to take Pakistan to the final of Asia Cup, then criticism of his captaincy will start again.
