Babar was persuaded to leave captaincy by taking Virat's name?
Pakistan's Arfa Firoz Jack has claimed that Babar Azam was under a lot of pressure after the crushing defeat in the T20 World Cup 2024 and this was the biggest reason for him leaving the captaincy. However, this journalist also claimed that Babar Azam was persuaded by his close friends to leave the captaincy by giving the example of Virat Kohli. Just like Virat Kohli left the captaincy of Team India in 2021, similarly Babar Azam has also taken this decision and now he wants to focus on his game.
