"Being Babar Azam is not an easy task." Salman Butt's words depict the tough time that the Pakistan captain has been facing lately, especially since the ODI World Cup disaster last year, leading up to the team's sorry early exit from the ongoing T20 World Cup. Additionally, Butt chose to relate that to Virat Kohli's lean patch at the tournament, calling the Indian batting icon's performance "much worse" compared to Babar's.
Pakistan exited the T20 World Cup in the group-stage itself, after an upset defeat against co-hosts USA and a narrow loss to archrivals India, who are undefeated going into their semifinal against defending champions England on Thursday.
