Pakistan cricket mein drama aur comedy ka silsila kabhi khatam nahi hota. Ek baar phir, self-proclaimed King Babar Azam ne Pakistan cricket team ki white-ball captaincy se resignation de diya hai. Ye wahi Babar hain jinhe kuch mahine pehle bade shauk se dobara kursi par bithaya gaya tha, lekin lagta hai ki captaincy ka bojh unke Lumber 1 stats par bhaari pad raha hai. Mid-night announcement aur social media par emotional post: Pakistan cricket ki purani aadat ab ek international joke ban chuki hai.
The Guru Story: Captaincy ki Jung aur Babar ka Fail Confidence
Kissa shuru hota hai ODI World Cup 2023 ki har ke baad, jab Babar Azam ne pehli baar captaincy chhodi thi. Tab Shaheen Afridi ko T20 ka captain banaya gaya, lekin PCB ki internal politics ne unhe ek series ke baad hi nikaal fenka. Babar Azam wapas aaye, socha tha ki T20 World Cup 2024 mein jhande gaadenge, lekin wahan USA jaisi nayi team se har kar Pakistan group stage se hi bahar ho gaya.
Ab jab Champions Trophy 2025 sar par hai, Babar Azam ne sudden resignation dekar sabko chaukaya nahi balki hasne ka mauka diya hai. Unka kehna hai ki wo apni batting par focus karna chahte hain. Sach to ye hai ki pichle kaafi samay se unka balla khamosh hai aur captaincy ke pressure mein wo "Zimbabar" waali form bhi kho chuke hain. PCB ne abhi tak kisi naye bali ka bakra yani naye captain ka naam announce nahi kiya hai, magar Mohammad Rizwan ka naam race mein sabse aage hai.
Analysis & Numbers: Statistics of a Struggling Leader
- Babar Azam ki captaincy mein Pakistan ne T20 World Cup 2024 mein USA se harne ka sharmnaak record banaya.
- Under his leadership, Pakistan has failed to win any major ICC trophy despite multiple attempts.
- Babar's individual strike rate in T20Is as captain has been a major point of trolling among fans globally.
- This is the second time in less than a year that Babar Azam has stepped down from a leadership role.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Babar Azam ka captaincy se hatna unke career ke liye shayad sahi ho, lekin Pakistan cricket ke liye ye ek bada setback hai. Ek aise waqt mein jab team ko stability ki zaroorat thi, Babar ne maidan chhod diya. Pakistan cricket board ki circus wali policy ne ek ache batsman ko confusion ka shikaar bana diya hai. Agar yehi haal raha, toh Champions Trophy mein Pakistan ka wahi haal hoga jo unka T20 World Cup mein hua tha. King tag lene se koi King nahi banta, perform karke dikhana padta hai. Babar ne finally maan liya ki unse ye pressure nahi jhela ja raha.
