Pakistan defeated the Netherlands by six wickets in their opening T20 World Cup Super-12 group stage encounter after two straight losses to Zimbabwe and India.

Fakhar Zaman, a left-handed batter who had an injury at the Asia Cup 2022 in the UAE, rejoined the squad while he was recovering.
During the game’s commentary yesterday, former Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir criticised Babar Azam and called him a selfish skipper.

“In my opinion, you should first consider your team rather than yourself; if nothing goes as planned, you need to have moved Fakhar Zaman up the batting order.

This is known as selfishness, and it is simple to be one as a captain. Babar and Rizwan can easily start Pakistan’s innings, breaking several records. You must consider your team if you want to be a leader.”

The Indian player claimed that while there have been many captains, there haven’t been as many leaders.

He noted that the game against the Netherlands gave Babar Azam the chance to lead by example and provide Fakhar Zaman the opportunity to open in place of him.

Numerous cricketers, including Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar, and Mohammad Hafeez, criticised Babar Azam for his poor leadership and asked him to bat in the middle of the order.
