I think the last time Babar performed in a big match was against New Zealand in the 2019 World Cup, when he scored a century. But after that he is yet to win a big match for Pakistan. This is not criticism but a fact,\u201d Wasim said.<\/p>\n<p>Wasim further highlighted that, given Azam&#8217;s position as the number one batter in ODIs, there is an inherent responsibility for him to lead the team to victories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing the number one batter in ODIs, it is Babar\u2019s responsibility to win matches but questions will be raised if he doesn\u2019t do that. He needs bat in accordance with the team\u2019s requirement. He has the ability to dominate bowlers and this World Cup is the place to do that,\u201d he added.<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"sd-bottom-social ss-icon\">\n<p class=\"ss-share-now\"> Share Now
