Pakistan’s star batter and Peshawar Zalmi captain, Babar Azam, is going through a difficult patch in the ongoing HBL PSL Season 10. Known for his elegant stroke play and consistent scoring, Babar has failed to deliver big innings so far, leaving fans and analysts concerned.
Babar Azam’s Poor Form in PSL 2025 Raises Eyebrows
Despite his stellar record in previous Pakistan Super League seasons, Babar Azam has struggled to find his rhythm in PSL 10. His recent outings have resulted in low scores, and he has been unable to anchor the innings or play match-winning knocks — a role he’s known for.
This sudden dip in form is alarming for Peshawar Zalmi, who have traditionally leaned on Babar’s performances at the top order to set the tone.
Pressure Mounts on Peshawar Zalmi
With Babar Azam not firing, Peshawar Zalmi’s batting lineup has come under pressure. The team’s heavy dependence on their skipper’s runs is now being tested as they look for alternate match-winners in the squad. The lack of stability at the top has also affected the team’s overall performance in crucial games.
Fans Still Hopeful for a Babar Azam Comeback
While his current form is underwhelming, Babar Azam’s track record speaks volumes. Fans, former cricketers, and experts believe it’s only a matter of time before the stylish right-hander regains his touch. His ability to bounce back from slumps has been seen in the past, and supporters are hopeful he will return to form in the latter half of PSL 2025.
What Lies Ahead for Babar and Zalmi?
As PSL 10 progresses, the spotlight remains firmly on Babar Azam. Zalmi’s playoff hopes could hinge on his return to form, making the upcoming fixtures crucial for both the player and the franchise.
