The recent viral video showing Pakistan captain Babar Azam struggling in the nets against Ubaid Shah, brother of Naseem Shah, has added to the growing concerns about his form and leadership.
In the viral clip, a fiery delivery from Ubaid hits Babar on the body while he attempts a pull shot. This incident comes amidst Pakistan's poor performance in recent months, particularly in the T20 World Cup, which has intensified scrutiny on Babar's performance and leadership abilities. The footage is likely to further ignite the debate about his form and fitness as the team's skipper.
