Babar Azam ruled out of India game in 2025 ICC Champions Trophy? Batter suffers...

Babar Azam, as per the reports, is down with viral just like India's Rishabh Pant. The Pakistan National Cricket Team batter didn't come to attend the practice session a day ahead of the India vs Pakistan clash and it raised a lot of speculations about his fitness for the clash.

The reports claimed that Babar Azam had watery eyes along with a fever, and the batter wasn't fully fit even on the match day. The right-hander is expected to play the match, but so far, there hasn't been any confirmation related to his fitness.

India and Pakistan will be in action at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday (23rd February). It will be an important game for both the teams as a win for Rohit Sharma, and his team will almost take them to the semi-final, while for Pakistan, it will be them alive in the tournament.

Babar Azam's absence will completely disrupt the balance of the side for 2025 ICC Champions Trophy clash

If Babar Azam misses the IND vs PAK clash, it will be a big blow for the Pakistan National Cricket Team. His absence will completely disrupt the balance of the side, and it will put the Mohammad Rizwan-led side on the back, especially with the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy online for them.

Babar Azam has been a key member of the team in the ODIs. He has played a massive role for the Pakistan National Cricket Team in their success. If fit, he is expected to open the innings for his team and a lot would be reliant on him in the match.

Babar Azam slammed a half-century in the first game of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. However, it wasn't as fluent as he wanted as it came at a slow strike rate. The batter would be keen to make a strong comeback and help his side win the clash against India.
