The side registered four wins and five defeats in the group stage.<\/p>\n<p>Kapil Dev, who led India to ICC Cricket World Cup 1983 victory, said it was unfair to criticize the Pakistan captain based on his recent performances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you say that Babar Azam is not the right choice [for captaincy] today, it is because you are looking at just his current performance,\u201d he said in a podcast. \u201cHe was the same captain, who made Pakistan team No.1 [in ICC ODI rankings] six months ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cWhen someone gets out for zero, 99 per cent of the people would want him to be dropped. If an ordinary player comes and scores a brilliant hundred, then they call him a superstar. So don\u2019t look at just current performance.<\/p>\n<p>Kapil Dev said Babar Azam\u2019s approach, passion and talent should be taken into account when passing negative statements about the latter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/arynews.tv\/babar-azam-should-be-replaced-as-captain-with-abdullah-shafique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Replace Babar Azam with Abdullah Shafique as Pakistan captain\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"rocketlazyloadscript\">\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n    FB.init({\n      appId      : '161345524510473',\n      cookie     : true,\n      xfbml      : true,\n      version    : 'v3.0'\n    });\n    FB.AppEvents.logPageView();   \n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India legendary cricketer Kapil Dev backed Pakistan captain Babar Azam amid criticisms on his performances in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
