Former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood has defended Babar Azam, calling it unfair to single him out over strike-rate concerns in T20 cricket. Mahmood points out that Pakistan lacks ultra-aggressive batters and that expectations need to be realistic. He suggests that Babar should be utilised properly, setting the platform for other batters to hit the ball, as seen in his recent performance in the Pakistan Super League.
