Because of continuous speculations and rumours, the former had to explain what he actually wanted to say through the Instagram story. Akmal shared a photo collage of Babar and himself, after Pakistan’s defeat against England in a Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup 2026.
So far, Babar, the batting maestro of Pakistan, has scored 91 runs in six matches at an average of 22.75. Amid the scrutiny of his batting and strike rate in T20Is, Umar Akmal’s Instagram story spread across social media platforms like wildfire. Through the story, the former cricketer tried to connect two different matches in a single line- the recent England vs Pakistan match, and the Pakistan vs Australia clash from 2014.

Umar Akmal clarified
I want to clarify that my aim was never to compare myself with Babar Azam. He is currently one of the top batters in the world, and I have great respect for his achievements. My intention was only to highlight that he is not naturally a middle-order batter in T20 cricket, as that… pic.twitter.com/Agn6l8LVeq
