Babar Azam’s batting form continued to worry fans as he was dismissed for just 1 run off 3 balls against Islamabad United while chasing a daunting 243 in the second match of the Peshawar Zalmi.
This came after his duck in the opening match against Quetta Gladiators, raising serious questions about his batting form and leadership choices in PSL X.
Cricket fans took to social media in frustration, calling out Babar’s decision to open and criticizing his continued struggle to anchor high-pressure chases.

One fan wrote, “Not a good start for Babar in HBL PSL X,” while others pointed out a pattern of slow innings, regardless of batting position.
Another comment read, “I don’t know what Babar’s obsession is with opening in T20s. Even at No. 3, he’s still scoring 50 off 40 balls.”
Disappointment ran deeper among longtime supporters as one fan wrote: “I thought he’d revive Pakistan cricket in 2019. Now, it feels like we’re watching the end of his peak.”

Another fan questioned his leadership role, saying, “He hasn’t performed as a captain in recent years and is failing again in PSL X.”
“When chasing 244, why not let Haris and Mitch Oven open? Why refuse to bat at No. 3?” asked a fan frustrated with Babar’s fixed stance.
Fans now expect bold changes from the captain — or results may continue to slip.
