However, his recent form in Tests has left the fans concerned. Currently, in the midst of a home Test series against Bangladesh, Babar's performance has been far from his usual standards.
The ongoing Test series against Bangladesh has been particularly challenging for Babar Azam in the home conditions.
In the first Test at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Pakistan endured a shocking 10-wicket defeat against Bangladesh. This marked Pakistan's first-ever Test defeat to Bangladesh, a loss that shook the team and its supporters.
Babar, who is often relied upon to steady the ship, failed to lead the attack by example as he managed 0 and 22 in his two innings. He didn't turn up when it mattered before failing to provide the much-needed stability to the team that lost the plot.
The second Test did not fare much better for the 29-year-old right-handed batter in Rawalpindi. The former Pakistan captain failed to make a substantial impact again as he scored 31 in the first innings and a mere 11 in the second.
These scores reflect a worrying trend for him, who has now gone 15 innings without a fifty in Test cricket. In this tough phase, he has accumulated only 317 runs, averaging just over 20, with a highest score of 41.
