Hyderabad: The group stage of the T20 World Cup 2024 concluded on June 18 and Pakistan's shock exit from the tournament has become the talk of the town. The team suffered an upset in the very first match losing to the USA in a Super Over. The team also lost against India and that paved the way for the team's elimination from the competition. Babar Azam and company have faced a lot of flak from former Pakistan cricketers for their disastrous performance.
Babar amassed 122 runs from four matches with an average of 40.66 and a strike rate of 101.66. His strike rate has been a concern for the national side. The team has been bashed left, right and centre for their exploits. Former Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi is the new name to join the bandwagon and he has taken a dig at the current Pakistan skipper Babar Azam citing an example of Pakistan’s 2009 World Cup campaign in which the team won the title under the leadership of Younis Khan.
