Gilchrist Blasts Babar Azam's BBL Fifty Strategy Amid T20 Struggles

  • Babar Azam scored an unbeaten 58 off 46 balls for Sydney Sixers in a BBL win.
  • Adam Gilchrist criticized Babar's "run-a-ball" strategy on-air, citing it pressures other batters.
  • Gilchrist highlighted Babar's limited power-hitting and need to be more proactive.
  • Babar's T20I form has declined, with a low strike rate (114.44) and only two fifties since last T20 World Cup.
  • He has dropped to 31st in ICC T20I rankings, raising doubts about his T20 World Cup selection.

Why It Matters: Despite a BBL fifty, Babar Azam faces scrutiny over his T20 batting approach and declining form.
