Babar Azam pep talk

Babar Azam led his team beautifully in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. heading into the semi-final against Australia, they were the only unbeaten team in the campaign. However, the loss against Pakistan ended their journey in the tournament. Babar ended his campaign with 303 runs in six games, topping the run-scoring chart.

After the loss to Australia, Babar Azam delivered an excellent speech in the Pakistan dressing room urging his teammates to not break the bond and the unity between the players because of this defeat. He further urged his players not to blame others and take lessons from this defeat.

“We are all in pain and grieved by where we went wrong and where we could’ve done better. No one will tell us as we already know it. But we have to learn from it and we can’t let this loss break us as a unit. I’m requesting not to blame individuals and we as a team, didn’t perform well.”

“We did lose, but we will learn from this and bounce back. We have to ensure we don’t repeat these mistakes moving forward and let’s maintain this bond amongst ourselves because this is a result of our hard work.”

Don’t Drop Your Shoulders Despite This Defeat: Babar Azam

“It is difficult to create such a connection; hence, let’s get through this defeat together. As captain, I back every player and I’m thankful to all of you for responding well to me and fostering a good dressing room atmosphere. Everyone has given their everything and taken responsibility and it’s what is required from a team. Efforts are within our control and we will put it; however, results are not in our hands. Results will follow if a side gives its maximum effort.”

“Hence, please don’t drop your shoulders and I know everyone is grieving. It’s only a matter of time and think about where we could’ve gone better. Please support each other and these are times where everyone must pick each other up. I urge you not to talk about anyone negatively and forge a positive environment by backing one another and enjoying. Let’s learn from this and the more quickly we move on from this loss, the better.”

Matthew Wade’s drop catch by Hasan Ali in the 19th over proved to be the turning point in the game. Wade then smashed three consecutive sixes to Shaheen Afridi to take Australia to the finals of the T20 World Cup.
