Criticism over recent performances
Babar has been a prominent figure in Pakistani cricket since his debut in 2015. Initially hailed as a potential successor to Virat Kohli on the international stage, Babar’s career trajectory has faced scrutiny in recent years.
In the last few years, Babar has encountered criticism for his inconsistent performances, particularly in crucial matches for Pakistan. While he has demonstrated his prowess in games considered less challenging, his ability to deliver in high-pressure situations has been questioned.
Origin of ‘Zimbabar’ chant
Notably, the ‘Zimbabar’ chant stems from a sentiment among some fans that Babar needs to face Zimbabwe in a series to regain his form and confidence. This belief reflects the perception that Babar performs better against less formidable opponents.
