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.
