Despite the national team's historic victory against Sri Lanka, captain Babar Azam may face some disappointing news from the International Cricket Council (ICC). This potential setback is due to his inability to get significant scores in two consecutive matches.
Latest Update from Lahore (ARY News, 10 Oct 2023) The historic victory of the national team against Sri Lanka came as a blow to Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam. His recent performances, particularly in the 2023 World Cup with scores of 10 against Sri Lanka and 5 against the Netherlands, have sparked publicity. This challenge puts Babar Azam in an embarrassing position in the CC ODI rankings.
Shubman Gil is India's contender to replace the No. 1 batsman who died due to dengue fever. the first World Cup match. According to the latest ICC rankings, Gayle is currently second with 839 points, just 18 points behind Babar Azam, who is at the top position with 857 points.
While Gill may be aggrieved by a few points for being banned from the mail, Babar Azam's lack of positioning in the rebounds opens the door for Shibman Gill to the coveted No. 1 spot. Although Shubman Gill is out with dengue, it cannot stop Babar Azam from leaving the non-Gale ranks in front of India in the matches against Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Babar Azam, who has held the IC No. 1 ranking for over two-and-a-half years, may come close to loosing the prestigious title based on his recent performances. The cricketing world awaits the ICC's rankings update tomorrow, Wednesday, which is sure to see a major change in the ODI batsmen's rankings for the rankings.
