Babar Azam - The New ODI Captain of Pakistan

-
Yesterday night, Pakistani Cricket Board (PCB) Official confirmed that Babar Azam has been named as new ODI Captain. For the past 2 - 3 years, Babar Azam was great in his performances, having a great average of 54 in ODI and 50 in T20I. Already, he has been the T20I side from the start of this year and now after axing Sarfaraz Ahmed from captaincy due to his poor performaces with the bat, especially the defeat against Sri Lanka, he has been officially announced by PCB. 

 For past 4 years, he has been named as Pakistan's ODI Cricketer Year thrice during 2016,2017 and 2019. At ODIs, he scored 3,359 runs in 74 innings with 11 centuries and fastest Pakistani batsman to reach 10 centuries. Also, the fastest to score 3000 runs in innings. In T20Is, he scored 1,471 runs in 38 innings with 13 fifties. A classy, right handed, top order batsman known for his consistency in cricket. If we speak about Babar's Statistics and numbers, it will take a shot as a long post. But, here is about the strategy of PCB. 

 Here I personally feel that, PCB has made a right choice in opting Babar Azam as the captain of the national side. Apart from his cricketing skills, his attitude differs bit from other Pakistani cricketers. He is so calm, silent and he just plays for the sake of team. Just focuses on the best for the team, and plays his best game to provide the best result. Also, he still has a bigger career left behind him. At the age of 25, it is the right choice for building a team and a captain for a long term. If we look into the results of Pakistani team, no captain has sustained for a longer time and often got axed and suspended, which should not happen in Babar Azam's case. Also, they made this decision keeping 2023 World Cup in mind. 

 All the best for the greatness of Pakistani cricket, who are great in creating wonders and one of the most unpredictable top teams.

A Decade and Future

-
A decade 2010 - 2019 has been ended just 5 days ago. This decade marked much more important changes, important developments, and also much drawbacks.  Particularly in India's point of view, many difference had happened.  Governments have changed, people's mindset have changed and even some prominence were died.  At 2010, during the start of the decade, India's Prime Minister was Dr.Manmohan Singh, and the National Congress Party was the ruling government then. In Tamil Nadu,Kalaignar M.Karunanidhi was the Chief Minister.Button cell phones were in sale during those times and selfies weren't famous.  Twitter, Facebook, Orkut, Google, Youtube were the most used social media platforms. No Web Series and OTT platforms were there.  People watched TV Serials and TV was the main dominant source of information and entertainment.  Kids used to play outside and there weren't and PUBG, Freefire etc... India had only one Cricket WorldCup in their hands and IPL was just been

He was a proper top order batsman, who instead of hitting hard and smashing for huge sixes, he plays calm and fine, with much elegance for four. He doesn't seem to hit the ball so hard. Sometimes, he even pushes the ball for a boundary. A strong batsman in Leg Side, and played orthodox cricket in his entire career. He is al
