Babar Azam marriage pressure has become a talking point after a journalist linked his personal life to his recent performances. Pakistani journalist Shahid Hashmi claimed that family issues related to marriage could be affecting the star batter’s focus during the Big Bash League season.
In a recent YouTube interview, Hashmi said Babar Azam is facing stress at home. He claimed that Babar’s parents want him to marry his cousin. However, Babar reportedly likes someone else. According to Hashmi, this difference has created mental pressure for the cricketer.
Hashmi explained that such off-field issues can impact a player’s mindset. He suggested this could be one reason behind Babar’s recent dismissals. He said Babar is getting out to loose shots rather than good bowling. This, he believes, shows mental distraction and not technical weakness.
The journalist also connected this issue to Babar’s recent outings in international cricket. He mentioned the 2023 World Cup and the ongoing Big Bash League as examples. Hashmi pointed to Babar’s dismissal by Tom Curran in a recent match, where he scored only a few runs for Sydney Sixers.
Babar Azam marriage pressure was also discussed in the context of coaching. Hashmi said a strong coach can help Babar regain confidence. He recalled Babar’s successful time with Somerset in the Vitality Blast. During that period, his strike rate improved significantly under clear guidance.
Babar Azam is currently playing for Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League. He has scored 129 runs in five matches so far. This includes two half-centuries. His average stands at 32.25 with a strike rate of 117.27.
While rumors continue, there is no official statement from Babar Azam or his family. His fans now hope he can block out the noise. Strong performances on the field could silence all doubts.
