Pakistan captain Babar Azam had a quiet start to his Big Bash League (BBL) career, scoring just two runs from five balls on debut for the Sydney Sixers against the Perth Scorchers at Optus Stadium. Opening the innings, Babar faced early pressure after his partner Daniel Hughes was dismissed, and struggled to find rhythm at the crease. He managed to score his first BBL runs on the fourth ball he faced, but was soon caught at mid-on off Brody Couch’s delivery, ending his brief innings. Despite the modest start, fans remain eager to see the star batter settle into the league.
