In a practice match between the Pakistan Whites and Blues, the former Pakistan captain Babar Azam was seen dismissed, scoring 2 runs off 7 balls. In a recent viral video, it was seen how Babar missed the line of a full-pitched inswinger and it slipped through the passage between his pad and the bat and dismantled the bails. Babar stood there baffled for a few seconds and then walked out. Watch the video here: Babar Azam was dismissed for just 2 runs off 7 balls in the practice match against Pakistan Whites. Such innings can be tough, but practice matches are for refining skills. Hopefully, he’ll bounce back in future games! pic.twitter.com/M3gdinUopS — کپتان کا سپاہی ❤️ (@callmekhattak_) July 4, 2025 Read also: Jadeja Breaches BCCI Protocol, Likely to Escape Punishment Babar Azam's Franchise Cricket Crossroads Babar Azam is set to feature in BBL 2025–26 with Sydney Sixers, marking a significant step for Pakistan cricket. He signed a pre-draft Platinum deal worth up to AUD 420,000 (INR 2.36 crore), making him one of the league’s highest-paid players ever. Following him, several Pakistan stars also bagged Platinum-tier contracts worth AUD 270,000 each, as Pakistan’s domestic schedule now allows full participation in global franchise leagues like the Big Bash. Not only that, Babar Azam may soon face off against Virat Kohli in franchise cricket, with the Champions League T20 set for a 2026 revival as the World Club Championship. The tournament will feature top T20 franchises from IPL, BBL, PSL, SA20, and The Hundred. Babar has scored over 11,000 runs in T20s and 6,235 in ODIs, averaging 55.17 in the 50-over format. Despite impressive stats, including 30 List A centuries and nearly 9,400 runs, Babar has struggled lately with form, especially in T20Is where his average has dipped below 40. He also lost his captaincy across formats following criticism over strike rate and leadership. Once Pakistan’s batting mainstay, Babar now faces a crucial period to rediscover consistency and prove his worth purely as a batter.
