The Champions Cup: A solution or another problem for Pakistan cricket?
The tournament brings hope but also controversy with age limits, financial costs, and rule inconsistencies.
IPL 2026 Ke Flop Players Jinse Fans Naraz Hain
Since IPL 2026 results and player performances are not established facts I can verify, I can’t accurately name real “flop players” for the season. However, if you need a publishable Hinglish feature on the topic, you can use a magazine-style article that discusses the types of high-profile underperformers fans often criticize during an IPL season.
"Naam bada tha... performance chhota nikla."
IPL mein har saal kuch players headlines banate hain.
Aur har saal kuch players aise bhi hote hain jinse fans ki expectations sky-high hoti hain, lekin season khatam hone tak social media criticism unka peecha nahi chhodta.
Yeh article kisi ek player ki kahani nahi hai.
Yeh un sab stars ki kahani hai jinke liye fans kehte hain:
"Bhai, is season kuch toh gadbad hua hai."
Breaking Cricket Debate
IPL ek aisa tournament hai jahan reputation sirf ek match mein nahi banti.
Lekin kabhi-kabhi reputation ek season mein damage zaroor ho sakti hai.
Ek star player auction mein crores kamata hai.
Fans uske posters lagate hain.
Fantasy teams uske naam se bhar jaati hain.
Phir season start hota hai.
Aur scoreboard kuch aur story sunata hai.
IPL controversies aur fan discussions ko samajhne ke liye kai readers IPL fixing truth jaise topics mein bhi kaafi interest dikhate hain.
Category 1: The Expensive Star Who Couldn't Deliver
Har season ek aisa player hota hai.
Auction room mein excitement.
Experts ka prediction.
Fans ka celebration.
Phir:
Low scores
Inconsistent batting
Match-winning innings ka wait
Aur social media par ek hi sawaal:
"Is player ko itna paisa kyun mila?"
Kabhi pressure issue hota hai.
Kabhi form issue.
Kabhi role clarity ki problem.
Lekin fans explanation se zyada results dekhte hain.
Aise cases ko fans aksar IPL expensive flops wali category mein rakh dete hain, chahe player ki overall quality kitni bhi high kyun na ho.
Dressing Room Reality
Ek former coach ne ek baar kaha tha:
"Price tag player ke bat se nahi nikalta."
Lekin fans ke liye equation simple hoti hai:
Bada contract = Bada performance.
Jab performance nahi aata...
Criticism automatically aa jata hai.
Isi wajah se jab koi most expensive IPL player expected impact nahi de pata, toh criticism aur bhi zyada intense ho jata hai.
Category 2: The Power Hitter Who Forgot To Finish
Death overs specialist.
Big sixes.
Explosive reputation.
Aur phir season aata hai jahan boundaries hi disappear ho jaati hain.
Match situation:
24 runs in 12 balls
Set batter crease par
Fans expect fireworks.
Result?
Dot ball.
Single.
Wicket.
Aur match slip ho jata hai.
Isi phase mein frustration grow karti hai.
Fan Reaction Zone
Social media comments:
"Last year ka player aur is year ka player same kaise ho sakta hai?"
"Confidence missing lag raha hai."
"Kya injury ka effect hai?"
Questions badhte jaate hain.
Answers kam milte hain.
Category 3: The Overseas Star Who Couldn't Adapt
IPL ka pressure unique hai.
Conditions unique hain.
Crowds unique hain.
Expectations toh aur bhi unique hain.
Kayi overseas stars international cricket mein legends hote hain.
Lekin IPL mein unka impact expected level tak nahi pahunchta.
Reasons:
Pitch adjustment
Spin challenge
Role confusion
Team balance issues
Fans naturally disappointed hote hain.
Analyst Board
Common Signs Of A Flop Season
Strike rate down
Confidence low
Body language negative
Match impact missing
Yeh sirf numbers ka issue nahi hota.
Perception bhi important hoti hai.
Category 4: The Bowler Who Lost His Magic
Ek season pehle:
Yorkers perfect
Economy brilliant
Pressure handling elite
Agla season:
Full tosses
Expensive overs
No control
Aur phir commentators discuss karna start kar dete hain:
"Kya batters unko read kar chuke hain?"
Mini Match Reconstruction
18th over.
Bowler attack par.
Team ko comeback chahiye.
First ball: Four.
Second ball: Six.
Third ball: Four.
Momentum gone.
Fans shocked.
Kabhi-kabhi ek over poore season ka symbol ban jaata hai.
Category 5: The Captain Under Pressure
Captaincy toughest job hai.
Agar team jeete:
Credit players ko.
Agar team haare:
Questions captain se.
Isi liye kuch captains ka season statistically average hota hai.
Lekin criticism extraordinary.
Press Conference Moment
Reporter:
"Team baar-baar same mistakes kyun repeat kar rahi hai?"
Captain:
"Hum improve karenge."
Fans:
"Woh kab?"
Numbers Vs Emotions
Interesting fact.
Kabhi-kabhi player ka season statistically decent hota hai.
Lekin perception negative.
Kyuki fans clutch performances yaad rakhte hain.
Average runs nahi.
Average economy nahi.
Woh moments yaad rehte hain.
The Social Media Multiplier
Pehle criticism newspaper tak limited tha.
Ab?
Memes
Clips
Reactions
Fan edits
Har mistake amplify ho jaati hai.
Ek dropped catch.
Ek slow innings.
Ek expensive over.
Aur internet usse immortal bana deta hai.
Why Good Players Sometimes Look Flop
Experts ke mutabik reasons:
Wrong batting position
Injury concerns
Confidence loss
Team strategy mismatch
Excessive expectations
Last point sabse dangerous hai.
Kabhi-kabhi player average perform nahi kar raha hota.
Fans unrealistic expectations set kar dete hain.
Fan Panel Discussion
Question:
"Flop player kaun hota hai?"
Fan A:
"Jo perform nahi kare."
Fan B:
"Jo pressure mein fail ho."
Fan C:
"Jo salary justify na kare."
Teen answers.
Teen alag definitions.
Isi liye flop debate kabhi khatam nahi hoti.
Cricket Ka Harsh Truth
Aaj jis player ko fans troll kar rahe hain...
Kal wahi match winner ban sakta hai.
IPL history isse bhari padi hai.
Players form lose karte hain.
Phir comeback karte hain.
Phir hero ban jaate hain.
Aur phir wahi fans unke naam ke chants karte hain.
Isi league mein kai young stars bhi pehle struggle karte hain aur phir kuch hi seasons mein franchise ke biggest match-winners ban jaate hain.
The Unwritten Rule Of IPL
Expectation jitni badi hogi...
Disappointment bhi utna hi bada hoga.
Isi wajah se biggest stars sabse zyada criticism face karte hain.
Unknown players nahi.
Headline players.
Franchise faces.
Auction superstars.
Scoreboard kabhi jhooth nahi bolta.
Lekin fan emotions bhi kabhi ignore nahi kiye ja sakte.
Aur IPL mein jab expectations aur performances ek dusre se door chale jaate hain...
Tab "flop season" wali debate shuru hoti hai.
Har team mein.
Har season mein.
Aur shayad hamesha hoti rahegi.
Hardik Pandya Ki Captaincy Itni Controversial Kyun Hai?
[BREAKING SPORTS DESK — SPECIAL FEATURE REPORT] Location: Mumbai | Late Evening | Cricket World is Talking About One Man
“Hardik Pandya ko captain banana easy decision nahi tha… aur uske consequences bhi easy nahi nikle.”
Studio lights flicker, newsroom phones buzz, WhatsApp groups of selectors already overloaded. Ek side ex-players, dusri side Twitter experts, aur beech mein ek naam continuously trend karta rehta hai — Hardik Pandya.
Aur sawal simple hai… par jawab complicated:
Hardik Pandya ki captaincy itni controversial kyun hai?
🟥 LIVE FEED: PRESS ROOM CHAOS (Imaginary Reconstruction)
Reporter 1: “Sir, kya Hardik Pandya long-term captain option hain?”
Selector (pause): “Dekhiye… cricket sirf stats ka game nahi hota.”
Reporter 2: “Toh decision emotion-based tha?”
Room suddenly silent.
Bas ek fan ka shout bahar se:
“Hardik ya toh hero hai… ya pura chaos!”
Aur yahin se story start hoti hai.
🎙️ PANEL DEBATE — “THE HARDIK FILE”
Moderator: आज ka topic simple hai: Hardik Pandya aur captaincy controversy.
Panelists:
Ex-India all-rounder (retired, blunt opinions)
Tactical analyst (data-driven)
Journalist (inside dressing room leaks)
Fan representative (Twitter generation)
🧠 Segment 1: Leadership ya Experiment?
Analyst opens laptop.
“Hardik ka win percentage Gujarat Titans ke saath impressive tha. But captaincy ka sample size chhota tha.”
Table flash hota hai:
Analyst:
“Numbers strong hain… but context missing hai.”
Ex-player interrupts:
“Cricket ground pe spreadsheet nahi chalta!”
Room laughs.
🔥 Segment 2: Dressing Room Reality Leak (Hypothetical Insight)
Journalist leans forward:
“Sources ke according dressing room mein clarity issue tha. Hardik ka leadership style aggressive hai — sometimes too aggressive.”
Reported patterns:
Field placements frequently changing
Bowlers ko mid-over instructions
Senior players ko mixed signals
Youngsters ko freedom + confusion combo
Fan panelist reacts:
“Bhai yeh toh school ka strict but confused teacher lag raha hai!”
🎯 FLASHBACK TIMELINE — HARDIK CAPTAINCY JOURNEY
📍 Phase 1: Gujarat Titans Rise (Fairytale Era)
Debut captain season
Underdog team
Instant trophy win
Crowd reaction: “Ye toh Rohit Sharma 2.0 ban gaya!”
📍 Phase 2: Expectation Pressure
Opponents analyze his patterns
Bowlers targeted
Mid-season injuries
📍 Phase 3: India Captaincy Debates
Rohit still dominant figure
Transition talks begin
Media creates “future captain” narrative
📍 Phase 4: Split Opinions Era
Fans divided
Experts divided
Dressing room reportedly cautious
🎤 “VOICE OF STANDS” SEGMENT
Stadium outside imaginary crowd vox pops:
Fan 1: “Hardik attitude toh match jeeta sakta hai… par consistency?”
Fan 2: “Usko captain banaya ya experiment?”
Fan 3: “Bro hits six like hero… but captaincy mein kabhi hero, kabhi zero.”
🧩 TACTICAL BOARD ANALYSIS (NO FILTER ZONE)
Analyst draws on screen:
🟦 Strengths of Hardik as Captain:
Aggressive intent setting
Fearless field placements
Backing all-rounders
Death overs planning flexibility
🟥 Weaknesses:
Over-dependence on instincts
Emotional mid-game decisions
Injury management uncertainty
Sometimes reactive instead of proactive
Ex-player cuts in:
“Captain ko cool hona padta hai. Hardik fire hai… kabhi kabhi fire control se bahar chala jata hai.”
💥 ONE LINE THAT BROKE TWITTER
Panelist suddenly says:
“Hardik Pandya captain nahi, ek high-voltage strategy hai.”
Clips go viral instantly.
🧪 FAKE SCIENTIFIC CRICKET THEORY (Fun Segment)
Journalist introduces bizarre analogy:
“Think of Hardik captaincy like a T20 powerbank.”
Fast charging (quick impact decisions)
Overheating (emotional spikes)
Drains fast (injury + workload)
Needs cooldown breaks (rotation essential)
Fan panel bursts laughing:
“Bhai captain nahi, smartphone ban gaya Hardik!”
📊 PERFORMANCE VS PERCEPTION GAP
Analyst shows another breakdown:
Aggression index: HIGH
Stability index: MEDIUM-LOW
Trust factor in seniors: MIXED
Young players confidence under him: HIGH
Journalist concludes:
“Problem Hardik ka performance nahi… perception hai.”
🎭 INSIDE THE HEAD OF A CAPTAIN (IMAGINED MONOLOGUE)
Narrative shift — voice-over style:
“Main ground pe jab jaata hoon, mujhe lagta hai sab expect kar rahe hain perfect decision…”
“Par cricket perfect nahi hota.”
“Ek ball game badal deti hai.”
Silence.
⚖️ THE CONTROVERSY MATRIX
Aur isi wajah se Hardik ko judge karte waqt fans unki comparison aksar dusre legendary leaders se bhi karte hain, especially jab discussion best-india-captain debate tak pahunch jata hai.
🎙️ PANEL HEATS UP (ARGUMENT PHASE)
Ex-player:
“Captaincy experience se aati hai!”
Analyst:
“Modern T20 mein adaptability important hai!”
Fan rep:
“Bhai mujhe toh bas match jeetna hai!”
Journalist:
“Dressing room divided hai — and that’s the real issue.”
🧨 BREAKING MOMENT (SIMULATED NEWS FLASH)
Ticker runs across screen: “Selectors reconsider leadership structure amid performance inconsistency debate”
Studio reacts instantly.
Moderator: “Is this confirmation of instability?”
Nobody answers directly.
🧠 PSYCHOLOGICAL LAYER (UNDERRATED FACTOR)
Analyst softly says:
“Hardik ka burden double hai — player bhi, captain bhi.”
Points:
Injury comeback pressure
Public expectation spike
Social media scrutiny
Constant comparison with senior captains
Journalist adds:
“Har match uske liye test ban jata hai.”
In comparisons mein sabse zyada reference naturally MS Dhoni ka aata hai, aur isi context mein dhoni-csk-future discussion bhi kaafi relevant ho jata hai.
🎯 FAN VERDICT POLL (LIVE SIMULATION)
42% say: “He should captain”
38% say: “Not yet ready”
20% say: “Depends on format”
Fan panelist laughs:
“India mein captaincy democracy ban gayi hai!”
Waise hi jaise fans saalon se Virat aur Rohit ki GOAT debate par divided rahe hain, leadership discussions bhi kabhi fully settle nahi hote.
⚡ FINAL DEBATE PHASE — NO CLEAR WINNER
Ex-player:
“Cricket tradition chhod raha hai kya hum?”
Analyst:
“Cricket evolve ho raha hai.”
Journalist:
“Problem tradition vs transition ka hai.”
Fan rep:
“Mujhe toh bas match jeetna hai bhai!”
🧷 UNEXPECTED INTERRUPTION
Studio technician whispers:
“Script mein ending nahi hai?”
Moderator smiles:
“Hardik Pandya ki captaincy ki tarah… is debate ka bhi end clear nahi hai.”
🏟️ LAST SCENE: EMPTY STADIUM VISUAL
Lights off.
Pitch silent.
Somewhere a scoreboard still glowing faintly.
Hardik ka naam echo karta hai — not as answer… but as question.
No conclusion. No closure. Just ongoing debate.
Cricket Fans Ko IPL Zyada Pasand Hai Ya World Cup?
"Main IPL miss kar sakta hoon, lekin World Cup nahi."
Chai ki dukaan par baitha ek cricket fan ye baat confidence ke saath bol raha tha.
Uske saamne baitha dost turant bola:
"World Cup har 4 saal mein aata hai, IPL har saal excitement deta hai."
Aur bas...
Discussion shuru ho gaya.
Aisa discussion jo India ke har city, har office, har college aur har WhatsApp group mein kabhi na kabhi zaroor hota hai.
Cricket fans ko IPL zyada pasand hai ya World Cup?
Simple question lagta hai.
Lekin answer surprisingly complicated hai.
Kyuki ye comparison sirf cricket ka nahi.
Emotion vs Entertainment ka hai.
Nation vs Franchise ka hai.
Legacy vs Consistency ka hai.
Aaj hum isi maha-debate ko explore karenge.
Fan Parliament Session Begins
Speaker:
"Order! Order!"
Question table par rakha gaya:
IPL ya World Cup?
Sab apni seat par ready.
Arguments bhi ready.
Emotions bhi ready.
Team IPL Ka Pehla Statement
IPL supporters ka pehla point usually simple hota hai:
"IPL boring nahi hota."
Har match important.
Har team dangerous.
Har season nayi story.
Aur sabse important:
Har saal milta hai.
World Cup ka wait karna padta hai.
IPL har summer cricket festival lekar aa jata hai.
Team World Cup Ka Counter Attack
World Cup supporters muskuraate hain.
Phir ek hi line bolte hain:
"National anthem ke waqt jo feeling aati hai, woh IPL nahi de sakta."
Room silent.
Kyunki argument strong hai.
Bahut strong.
Jab bhi fans World Cup ki emotional value discuss karte hain, tab world-cup-india jaise moments automatically conversation ka center ban jaate hain.
Match-Day Comparison
Imagine two situations.
Situation A
IPL Final.
Stadium packed.
Fireworks.
Celebrity owners.
Crowd chanting.
Massive excitement.
Situation B
India World Cup knockout match.
TV ke saamne poora desh.
Roads khaali.
Offices silent.
Heartbeats fast.
Ye excitement different level ki hoti hai.
The Entertainment Argument
Sach kahen toh IPL entertainment machine hai.
Har season:
New stars
Big auctions
Dramatic finishes
Rivalries
Social media buzz
Cricket almost daily milta hai.
Fans continuously engaged rehte hain.
Isi wajah se younger audience IPL ko heavily enjoy karti hai.
Mini Memory Lane
Ek fan se poocha gaya:
"Tumhari favourite IPL memory?"
Usne instantly answer diya.
Last-ball six.
Historic chase.
Super over.
Memories endless thi.
Phir poocha:
"Favourite World Cup memory?"
Uski awaaz emotional ho gayi.
Yahi difference hai.
Cricket Psychology Corner
IPL excitement create karta hai.
World Cup pressure create karta hai.
Aur pressure hi emotion ko amplify karta hai.
Isi liye World Cup matches zyada intense feel hote hain.
Debate Table
FactorIPLWorld CupEntertainmentVery HighHighEmotional ValueMediumExtremeFrequencyEvery YearRareGlobal PrestigeHighVery HighNational PrideLimitedMassiveStar PowerMassiveMassive
Table dekh kar confusion aur badh sakta hai.
Kyuki dono ke paas strong arguments hain.
The Franchise Effect
IPL ne fans ko ek naya experience diya.
Pehle fans sirf country support karte the.
Ab franchise support bhi karte hain.
Mumbai.
Chennai.
Kolkata.
Bangalore.
Jaipur.
Lucknow.
Har city ka apna emotion hai.
Aur ye model incredibly successful raha.
IPL ki popularity ka ek bada reason yeh bhi hai ki fans har season ke ipl-winners aur title races ko closely follow karte rehte hain.
Expert Panel Discussion
Anchor:
"IPL ya World Cup?"
Expert 1:
"World Cup."
Expert 2:
"IPL."
Expert 3:
"Dono."
Audience:
"Loud applause."
Shayad audience sabse smart thi.
Why IPL Feels Bigger Than Ever
Aaj IPL sirf tournament nahi.
Ecosystem hai.
Auction itself event ban chuka hai.
Player transfers headlines bante hain.
Net practice videos viral hote hain.
Ye scale extraordinary hai.
But World Cup Has Something Unique
Flags.
National anthem.
Country vs country battle.
History.
Legacy.
Pressure.
Ye ingredients IPL replicate nahi kar sakta.
Aur honestly karna bhi nahi chahiye.
Dono ka purpose alag hai.
World Cup ki intensity tab aur bhi alag level par pahunch jaati hai jab India-Pakistan rivalry ka hype poore cricket world ko ek saath screen ke saamne le aata hai.
Fan Reactions Compilation
Fan 1
"IPL fun hai."
Fan 2
"World Cup emotion hai."
Fan 3
"IPL binge-watch karta hoon."
Fan 4
"World Cup mein heartbeat badh jaati hai."
Interesting pattern.
Words different.
Theme same.
The Office Test
Ek practical test karte hain.
IPL match chal raha hai.
Employees score check karte hain.
Discussion karte hain.
Normal routine continue rehta hai.
Ab imagine karo World Cup semi-final.
Productivity officially disappear ho jaati hai.
One Over Analysis
IPL:
Last over.
18 runs needed.
Exciting.
Fans enjoy.
World Cup:
Last over.
18 runs needed.
Country watching.
Fans sweating.
Difference feel hua?
Generational Perspective
Older fans ka answer often World Cup hota hai.
Younger fans ka answer often IPL.
Reason?
Exposure.
Younger generation IPL ke saath grow hui hai.
Older generation World Cup moments ke saath.
Social Media War
Poll:
IPL vs World Cup.
Comments section instantly battlefield ban jata hai.
Arguments:
Better quality cricket.
Better emotion.
Better atmosphere.
Better pressure.
Aur interestingly...
har side ke paas valid points hote hain.
The Money Discussion
IPL financially massive hai.
World cricket economy par iska influence huge hai.
Players.
Broadcasting.
Sponsorships.
Everything affected.
Isi wajah se IPL ka importance continuously grow hua hai.
IPL ki popularity ke saath kai myths aur debates bhi judi rahi hain — iske baare mein yahan padhiye.
The Legacy Discussion
World Cup trophy.
Bas ye do words hi kaafi hain.
Ek player 500 IPL matches khele.
Great achievement.
Lekin World Cup winning moment ka emotional weight alag hota hai.
Dressing Room Thought Experiment
Coach enters.
Question:
"Ek trophy choose karo."
Option 1:
IPL Trophy.
Option 2:
World Cup Trophy.
Majority players kya choose karenge?
Bahut logon ka answer predictable hoga.
Cricket Fan Categories
Category A
Entertainment Seekers
IPL.
Category B
National Pride Fans
World Cup.
Category C
Pure Cricket Lovers
Dono.
Aur India mein Category C sabse badi lagti hai.
The Most Honest Answer
Kabhi-kabhi debate ka answer binary nahi hota.
Ye bhi waise hi case hai.
IPL aur World Cup compete nahi karte.
Complement karte hain.
Ek cricket ko everyday celebration banata hai.
Doosra cricket ko national festival banata hai.
One Last Café Scene
Same chai stall.
Same discussion.
Same argument.
Ek fan finally bolta hai:
"IPL dekh kar maza aata hai. World Cup dekh kar dil dhadakta hai."
Table silent.
Phir sab agree kar lete hain.
Kyuki shayad isi ek sentence mein poori debate ka answer chhupa hai.
IPL entertainment ka king ho sakta hai.
World Cup emotion ka emperor ho sakta hai.
Aur cricket fans?
Woh lucky hain.
Unke paas dono hain.
Isi liye shayad asli winner na IPL hai, na World Cup.
Asli winner cricket fan hi hai.

কোহলির সঙ্গে তুলনায় ক্ষুব্ধ বাবর আজম, সাংবাদিককে কড়া জবাব
পাকিস্তান সুপার লিগে (পিএসএল) মাঠের পারফরম্যান্সের পাশাপাশি এবার সংবাদ সম্মেলনেও আলোচনার কেন্দ্রবিন্দুতে বাবর আজম। সাংবাদিকের এক প্রশ্নে যেন কিছুটা অপ্রস্তুতই হয়ে পড়েন পাকিস্তানের এই তারকা ব্যাটার। হায়দরাবাদ কিংসমেনের বিপক্ষে ম্যাচে বাবর ৩৭ বলে ৪৩ রান করে দলের সর্বোচ্চ রান সংগ্রাহক ছিলেন। তবে ১৪৬ রানের সহজ লক্ষ্য তাড়া করতে গিয়ে সেটিকে বড় ইনিংসে রূপ দিতে পারেননি তিনি। যদিও শেষ পর্যন্ত নাটকীয়ভাবে জয় তুলে নেয় তার দল পেশোয়ার জালমি। ম্যাচ শেষে সংবাদ সম্মেলনে এক সাংবাদিক বাবরের ‘ম্যাচ ফিনিশ করতে না পারা’ নিয়ে প্রশ্ন তোলেন। শুধু তাই নয়, ভারতের তারকা ব্যাটার বিরাট কোহলির সঙ্গে তুলনা টেনে বলেন, কোহলি একই ধরনের ব্যাটিং করেও ম্যাচ শেষ করতে পারেন, যেখানে বাবর পিছিয়ে। এমন প্রশ্নে স্পষ্টতই বিরক্ত হন বাবর আজম। তিনি জবাবে বলেন, ‘এই বিষয়গুলো শেষ করুন। নিজের কাছেই রাখুন। তুলনা বন্ধ করুন এবং সামনে এগিয়ে যান। এটা আপনার ভুল ধারণা যে আমি ম্যাচ শেষ করতে পারি না। বাবরের এই প্রতিক্রিয়া সামাজিক মাধ্যমে ইতিমধ্যেই আলোচনার ঝড় তুলেছে। কেউ তার অবস্থানকে সমর্থন করছেন, আবার কেউ মনে করছেন সমালোচনার জবাব মাঠেই দেওয়া উচিত। টি-টোয়েন্টি ফরম্যাটে বাবরের স্ট্রাইক রেট ও ফিনিশিং ক্ষমতা নিয়ে সমালোচনা নতুন নয়। তবু ধারাবাহিক পারফরম্যান্সের কারণে পাকিস্তানের অন্যতম নির্ভরযোগ্য ব্যাটার হিসেবে তার অবস্থান অটুট রয়েছে। চলতি পিএসএলে এখন পর্যন্ত দুই ম্যাচে বাবর করেছেন ৮২ রান, স্ট্রাইক রেট ১২৬.১৫। তবে বড় ইনিংস খেলতে না পারা ও কম বাউন্ডারি এখনো তার জন্য প্রশ্ন হয়ে থাকছে।
The IPL, which began in 2008 as a franchise-based T20 league, was designed with a full home-and-away format where each team plays the other
