Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistan cricket team, has been one of the premier batters in world cricket for the last few years. The 28-year-old has taken ODI cricket by storm in recent times, becoming the fastest to reach 5,000 runs in the format in just 97 innings.
In the Asia Cup 2023 opener, Babar Azam has already registered a 150-plus score against Nepal at the Multan Cricket Stadium, to help the Men in Green secure a comfortable win. While the right-handed batter has been setting the stage alight in the ODIs in various conditions and oppositions across the world, he has yet to taste success as a batter in this format against the arch-rivals India.
During his five matches against the Indian cricket team since 2017, he has yet to score a fifty, amassing just 158 runs at an average of 31.60. With that, SportsTiger looks at three Indian bowlers who can dismiss Babar Azam in Asia Cup 2023, early in the innings.
Jasprit Bumrah
Babar Azam has faced Jasprit Bumrah during all his five outings against Team India in ODI cricket. The captain of Pakistan got just 17 runs off 26 balls, with a couple of fours, but he is yet to be dismissed by one of the premier fast bowlers in world cricket. With that, Babar Azam vs Jasprit Bumrah could be one of the player battles to watch out for, during the upcoming match in the Asia Cup 2023 between India and Pakistan.
