In four innings, the right-handed batter has scored only 91 runs at an average of 22.75. But it was his strike rate—just 111.5—that left everyone disappointed. That is now the lowest strike rate in T20 World Cup history for any player with more than 500 career runs in the tournament.

Jason Gillespie breaks silence on Babar's T20 World Cup 2026 struggles
Jason Gillespie said of Babar Azam, “There's been a lot of scrutiny about Babar Azam. My question would be, is he completely clear on what his specific role is in the team? And I'd love Babar to just go out there and play with complete freedom. For me, it's playing fearless cricket, but not reckless.”
He said, “Always look to take the positive option. But it's not slogging; it's just being aggressive. Don't be afraid to take on the field. You only have to get over the infield, and you get runs. Play with intent.”
Gillespie feels Babar worries too much about getting out, and that fear stops him from attacking. In T20 cricket, fear does not help. The former Australian pacer further mentioned that Babar is so focused on trying to get the team off to a good start and continue the game.
Babar needs real clarity in his mind: Gillespie
He feels Babar only needs clarity to make a strong comeback in the shorter format of the game. Gillespie signed off by saying, “I think if he's got that real clarity in his mind, just right, I'm just going to go out and play here; he will succeed more than he fails. As long as he's got that real clarity in his mind about just going out there and playing with that freedom and having really good intent.”
