Asia Cup 2023: Man, oh man! Talk about a game-changer! When Babar Azam slammed that century against Nepal in the Asia Cup 2023 curtain-raiser, he didn’t just score runs; he etched that moment into cricket history. The crowd at Multan International Stadium went nuts as the Pakistani captain tossed off his helmet and took a bow. Babar deftly sliced his short and wide delivery for a smooth couple of runs.
Hold on, let’s dive into the digits. We’re talking Babar’s 19th ODI century in just a teeny 102 innings! The guy’s a run machine, no doubt, and that’s why folks treat him like cricket’s answer to a superhero. Twitter, of course, was buzzing like a beehive, jam-packed with cheers, jeers, and plenty of “I told you so’s” from fans and critics alike.
Now, let’s not forget that Babar isn’t just any cricketer. He’s THE guy on Pakistan’s category A list across all game types. Yeah, the pressure’s always on, but like a diamond, this guy shines brighter under it. His strategic takedown of Nepal just put his grit and killer instinct on full display.

Okay, wanna talk about reading minds? Babar was ahead of the curve when facing Dipendra Airee. It was like he knew that short and wide ball was coming, and bam! He nails it with a cut shot that’s textbook perfection. It separates the greats from the good, and Babar is sailing in a league of his own.
So, here’s the bottom line: Babar’s century wasn’t just about the numbers; it was a full-blown masterclass in owning the pitch, in calling the shots without sticking his neck out. The buzz was electric, not just in Pakistan but around the globe. Now, with this sizzling inning behind him, who isn’t jazzed to see what Babar has up his sleeve for the rest of the Asia Cup? With him steering the ship, it’s clear skies ahead for Pakistan‘s cricket dreams.

Scoring hundred against Nepal is not everyone's cup of tea. Bodied Kohli, sharma and gill in just one inning. Best player against Nepal no doubt.#Babar https://t.co/wWRNk1D9W7

Took 14 balls to score last 10 runs, No matter how good he is as a batter but he is definitely little bit selfish for his own records.
