Babar Azam, who was formerly with the Karachi Kings, has since moved on to the Peshawar Zalmi. The brisk right-handed batter has been chosen to lead the team in 2023. The batter was a part of the Karachi Kings’ triumph in 2020, a game they defeated all odds to win.

Babar Azam Great Asset

Pakistan almost qualified for the second T20 World Cup in Australia under Babar Azam. Babar is a strong captain who supports his bowler, therefore there is no doubt about his abilities. However, Babar would be hoping that he picks up some speed in the T20s because his strike rate has been a problem. Instead of playing a series of dot balls, the batter needs to step it up and rotate the strike regularly.

Since Peshawar Zalmi consistently shows promise but falls short in crucial moments of the game, they would be hopeful that Babar Azam will help them over the finish line. Babar Azam and Peshawar Zalmi’s season will be exciting to watch because Peshawar fans will be rooting for their team to win a second championship.
