IND vs PAK: Babar Azam to Miss India Match? Pakistan Batter Falls Sick Ahead of India vs Pakistan Match
Babar Azam did not attend the practise session due to illness.
Pakistan cricket team is facing a big problem before their important match against India in the Champions Trophy 2025. Fakhar Zaman was already ruled out of the tournament due to injury. Now, another star batsman, Babar Azam, is unwell.
Babar Azam, who scored a half-century in the last match against New Zealand, is suffering from fever. He stayed inside the team hotel and did not attend Pakistan’s practice session in Dubai on Saturday. This news has worried Pakistan fans as Babar is one of their best batsmen.
Pakistani journalist Sohail Imran has reported that Babar’s illness is not serious. He is recovering well and is expected to play against India on Sunday. But if he does not get fully fit, it will be a big problem for Pakistan. With Fakhar already out, losing Babar will weaken their batting lineup against India’s strong bowling attack.
India Also Faces Health Issues
Not just Pakistan, but India is also dealing with health concerns. Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has a viral fever. He did not attend the practice session on Saturday. Indian vice-captain Shubman Gill confirmed this in a press conference.
However, Pant’s illness is not a big issue for India. He was not expected to be in the playing XI, as KL Rahul is India’s first-choice wicketkeeper. So, even if Pant is unwell, it does not affect India’s plans.
Crucial Match for Pakistan
This match is very important for Pakistan. If they lose to India, they might get knocked out of the tournament. That is why Pakistan will hope that Babar Azam recovers fully and plays this big match.
All eyes are now on Sunday’s clash. Fans from both countries are excited, and they hope to see their favorite players in action. Will Babar Azam be fit to play? Only time will tell.
