Akhirkar wahi hua jiska dar tha ya kahein jiska intezar pure cricket world ko tha. Babar Azam ne officially Pakistan team ki captaincy se isteefa de diya hai. World Cup 2023 ki zillat bhari har aur back-to-back failures ke baad, self-proclaimed King ne apna crown khud hi utar kar phenk diya hai. Yeh koi surprise nahi hai, balki ek aisi script thi jo bohot pehle likhi ja chuki thi.
The Guru Story
Pakistan cricket mein drama na ho, aisa ho hi nahi sakta. Babar Azam jinhe unke fans Virat Kohli se compare karte thake nahi the, unka captaincy tenure kisi nightmare se kam nahi raha. ICC World Cup 2023 mein India ke khilaaf Ahmedabad mein hui buri har aur phir Afghanistan se milne wali humiliation ne Babar ki kursi ki taange pehle hi tod di thi. PCB ke headquarters mein kayi ghanto ki meeting ke baad, Babar ne social media par apna resignation announce kiya, ye kehte hue ki wo ab sirf apni batting par focus karna chahte hain. Lekin asliyat toh ye hai ki pressure itna tha ki unke paas aur koi rasta hi nahi bacha tha. Ab rumors ki maane toh Shan Masood ko Test aur Shaheen Afridi ko T20 ki kamaan mil sakti hai, matlab ek confusion se nikal kar Pakistan ab dusre confusion mein kadam rakh raha hai.
Analysis & Numbers
- Babar ki captaincy mein Pakistan ne ICC tournaments mein koi bada title nahi jeeta, sirf stats aur rankings ka game chalta raha.
- World Cup 2023 mein Babar ki batting average unke standard se kafi neeche rahi, jisme wo badi teams ke khilaaf struggle karte nazar aaye.
- Under his leadership, Pakistan vs India ka record aur bhi kharab hua, jahan pressure moments mein team puri tarah collapse ho gayi.
- PCB ne pichle ek saal mein teen baar management badla, lekin captain wahi raha jo on-field decisions lene mein hamesha confused dikha.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Babar Azam ka captaincy chhodna unke liye blessing in disguise hai, kyunki unse team sambhali nahi ja rahi thi. Captaincy pressure ne unki batting ki bhi dajiya uda di thi. Magar sawal ye hai ki kya sirf chehra badalne se Pakistan ki kismat badlegi? Jab tak system mein professionalism nahi aayega, tab tak chahe Shaheen Afridi aaye ya koi aur, result wahi rahega: Over-expectation aur Under-performance. Babar ab bina pressure ke batting karein, shayad tabhi wo Nepal ya Zimbabwe ke bahar bhi runs bana payein.
