The debate around Babar Azam’s role in T20 cricket goes beyond strike rate alone. While he remains the highest run-scorer in T20 internationals and a symbol of consistency for Pakistan, questions continue over how his anchoring style fits into the modern, high-tempo T20 game. Supporters highlight his experience, technique, and ability to provide stability, while critics focus on the need for faster scoring. As Pakistan looks ahead to major tournaments, the discussion reflects a broader challenge of balancing experience with evolving T20 strategies.
