A new star has emerged on the Pakistan cricket scene as Kamran Ghulam smashed a century on his Test debut. The 29-year-old, who was called up to replace the struggling Babar Azam, seized the opportunity with both hands and delivered a stunning performance.
Ghulam’s century, a 192-ball innings laced with nine fours and a six, came at a crucial time for Pakistan. With the team under pressure at 19/2, Ghulam’s solid batting provided a much-needed foundation. His impressive knock has not only earned him praise from fans and experts but has also raised questions about Babar Azam’s future as Pakistan’s Test captain.
Babar has been going through a prolonged slump, failing to score a half-century in his last 18 Test innings. While the team management has defended their decision to rest Babar, Ghulam’s performance has added another layer of complexity to the situation.
With Ghulam’s impressive debut, there is a growing sentiment that he could be a potential replacement for Babar. The decision on who will lead the Pakistan Test team in the upcoming series against South Africa will be a crucial one for the selectors.
As the Pakistan cricket team continues to navigate these challenging times, the performances of both Babar Azam and Kamran Ghulam will be closely watched by fans and experts alike.
