Former Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim has defended star batsman Babar Azam against the barrage of criticism he has faced from fans and former cricketers. Despite Pakistan's recent ODI series win against England and Sri Lanka, Babar's batting struggles have not escaped scrutiny. In a strong statement on X, Imad described Babar as a superstar and one of the finest ODI batters Pakistan has ever produced.
He questioned the depth of criticism given to Babar, emphasizing that nearly a decade of consistent, world-class performances should not be overlooked due to a recent downturn.

He emphasized that no one is above criticism, but suggested that Babar's past achievements should be given due respect.
Imad's stance is particularly relevant as Pakistan celebrates its ODI tri-series victory, and Babar continues to struggle with his form.
