David Warner, who scored more than 280 runs in the ICC T20 World Cup, went on to bag the player of the tournament award. He was the second-highest run-getter in the tournament. Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar was not happy with the choice as he wanted Babar Azam to take the award home.
The Pakistan skipper scoredย 303 runs in six games with the help of four half-centuries. โWas really looking forward to seeing @babarazam258 becoming Man of the Tournament. Unfair decision for sure,โ Akhtar had tweeted earlier.
Reacting to Shoaibโs statement, Irfan Pathan said that a player performing is one thing but putting team over the individual performance is a different thing. Pathanโs comments came in reference to the strike rate of Babar Azam in the tournament. While Babar scored his runs at a strike rate ofย 126.25, Warner was striking at 146.70, which helped Australia.
โA Player performing is one thing, putting himself above the team is another. Donโt mix the two. TEAM always, always comes first,โ tweeted Irfan Pathan.
