  1. Salman Butt reacts on the criticism of Babar Azam Former Pakistan player Salman Butt has backed that current captain Babar Azam, saying that he is in a similar situation to what batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar was in the 90s. Butt again shared that Tendulkar's story is repeating in Babar Azam’s case as well. India lost several games during that era (1990s) due to lack of support for the batting great. While speaking on his YouTube channel, Butt stated that the criticism of Babar Azam is unfair since he has a challenging task on his hand. The former Pakistan captain explained: “Most of the game’s big names praise Babar Azam for a reason. I am not comparing him with Sachin Tendulkar. There cannot be a comparison. But I want to point out to a likewise situation. There was a time when India’s batting was dependent on Tendulkar to a great extent. It was like if Sachin scores, India will get a big score. He did play a number of big knocks. However, there was hardly any contribution from the others and India quite often ended up losing.”

  2. He continued: "We need to support Babar Azam. As a batter, it is not easy when you know that, at the other end, people with come and go and you have to do the bulk of the scoring. Not everybody is that mentally strong. Babar Azam is doing a very good job in his capacity as a batsman. It’s a team game, at least 5-6 players need to perform consistently for a side to do well.” However, Pakistan are currently playing against West Indies in the first Test of the two-match Test series in Jamaica. Babar Azam scored a hard-fought 54 off 139 balls. Pakistan posted 160 for 5 in their second innings, with a lead of 124 as well with Faheem Ashraf (12*) and Babar Azam in the middle before stumps.
