Babar Azam suffering from Virat Kohli’s disease before the final?

Babar Azam’s team will face Dasun Shanaka’s Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final today. Pakistan confirmed their final by defeating Afghanistan in the Super Four match.

However, Pakistan’s concern is captain Babar Azam’s off form. Babar Azam has not yet seen big runs with the bat. With the loss of form, Babar has already lost his top spot in the T20 batting rankings to his teammate Mohammad Rizwan.

Babar scored 10(9), 9(8), 14(10), 0(1) and 30(29) in 5 matches of Asia Cup. There has already been a flurry of criticism for his off form. Comparing with Virat who was out of form before the Asia Cup, netizens are saying, “This time Babar Azam is suffering from “Virat Kohli disease.” Another wrote, ‘Babar has now started copying Virat.’ Note that they pointed to Kohli’s poor form before getting the century.

Before the start of the Asia Cup, Kohli-Babar met at the Emirates ground during practice. Sharing a picture of the two’s handshake there, one wrote, ‘Babar has lost his form since this time.’ Another wrote, ‘Nothing is right after that handshake.

However, Pakistan coach Saqlain Mushtaq is not at all worried about Babar Azam’s form. He said, “Babar is in form just not getting help from luck. I am sure he has preserved his best for the final. Confident of doing well in the final. “

Meanwhile, Babar told the media before the final, “Before the final, our batting is a cause of concern. We have to discuss and fix it. Also, our pacers are in rhythm. We will fight with the best in the final.”

Ahead of the start of the Asia Cup, an out-of-form Kohli had come under fire. After 1020 days, Kohli responded by returning to form in the Asia Cup. Can out of form Babar answer in the final? Only then will get rid of the Kohli disease!
