Fans are dissatisfied with Babar Azam's captaincy and planned approach against India after a painful setback at the important start of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 campaign.
Though it was a difficult choice to give Mohammad Nawaz the last over while defending 16 runs, it was turned around by Virat Kohli, who dashed Pakistan's hopes and won the game for India.
Mohammad Hafeez, former Pakistan T20 captain, was quite unhappy with the skipper's captaincy. He considered this target relatively easy to defend as India lost four wickets in the first ten overs.

"Babar Azam's captaincy is like a sacred cow that cannot be criticized. It's the third consecutive big game that we see flaws in Babar's captaincy, but we keep hearing that by the time he gets to the age of 32, he will learn," Hafeez said.
"In yesterday's match, from the 7th over till the 11th over, when India was struggling for even four runs an over, why did Babar not fulfill the spin quota overs in that timeframe." he added.
Pakistan lost the opening match of their T20 World Cup campaign against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of the 90,000 crowd.
