Babar scored this century for the Colombo Strikers cricket team in their match against the Gale Gladiators, with a strike rate of 176.2. He demonstrated his skill on the pitch with stunning cover drives, eight boundaries, and five sixes.
The strike rate is enough to burn his critics who used the argument that Babar was “too slow” for T20s.
Babar’s steady partnership with Pathum Nissanka resulted in a total score of 111 runs, ultimately leading the Strikers to a successful seven-wicket win against the Gladiators.
Babar is seizing the chance to enhance his skills by debuting in LPL, paving the way for his upcoming appearances in Asia Cup and ICC World Cup. This tournament is a crucial step in his journey towards mastering the diverse conditions of the region.
