Pakistan’s second Test against New Zealand ended in a draw, and with the first Test also being a draw, the pressure on Pakistan captain Babar Azam has increased for their dip in form.

After the second Test, a journalist suggested that Babar’s grip over the team is getting weaker, and his friendships are ending in the team. Babar responded with a savage reply, stating that his work is to perform in the field and make his team perform, and he does not care about rumors of losing the captaincy.

Let’s talk about today’s match.” The incident draws attention to the similarities between Babar Azam and Rohit Sharma, two cricketers who have not been compared as often as Babar and Virat Kohli.
