Ramiz Raja attacks critics of Pakistan cricket. Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, has been the No. 1 batter in the ICC T20I rankings for a long time. He has broken records at will. But the star opener’s batting strike rate, along with that of Mohammad Rizwan, has recently come under fire. Critics say that this is the main reason why Pakistan has been struggling in T20Is. But the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Ramiz Raja, has reacted angrily to these criticisms, making a big Virat Kohli statement to answer them.

In an interview with Samaa TV, Ramiz said that the Pakistan team did not do well in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka, even though they were the favorites. However, he said that the criticism of the team has been a bit harsh.

Ramiz’s explanation

Ramiz explained his point of view by saying that when Kohli scored a century against Afghanistan, Indian fans and the media had forgotten about their entire Asia Cup campaign. As a result, they failed to reach the final despite being the clear favorites. The experienced cricketer thinks that if Babar had scored a century, Pakistani fans wouldn’t have cheered the same way. Instead, they would have criticized him by comparing his strike rate.

“Previously we used to falter at the very first hurdle. Yes we reached the final and yes we did not play well. But it’s okay to have a bad day. But there were others teams as well in the Asia Cup. I mean then India should then have been severely criticised for not reaching the final. But that is not what their fans and media do. I’ll tell you…when Virat Kohli scored a century against Afghanistan, they forgot their entire Asia Cup. Will we ever do that? What we say is that Babar Azam scored a ton, but his strike rate was 135 while David Warner’s was 147.3. So this is useless,” he said.
