Babar Azam Faces Form Struggles as Pakistan Prepares for Tri-Series Final

Pakistan captain Babar Azam seeks to adapt to new challenges and overcome recent batting inconsistencies ahead of the Champions Trophy.

Babar Azam has struggled with form in recent ODIs, averaging 42.90 since August 2023, a significant decline from his career standards.
Mohammad Rizwan defended Babar, attributing his struggles to the immense expectations following his prolific past performances.
Babar has taken on the opening role in ODIs due to injuries and form issues among other players, a move that remains under scrutiny.
Following Pakistan's record-breaking chase against South Africa, Babar emphasized focusing on the team and requested fans and media to stop calling him 'King.'
Pakistan is set to face New Zealand in the tri-series final on Friday, their last ODI before hosting the Champions Trophy starting February 19.
