Babar Azam is leading the Pakistan squad in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023, which is hosted jointly by Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

The Pakistan skipper got off to a dream start in the tournament by scoring a big hundred in his team's convincing win over Nepal.

But since the tournament opener, his performance graph has taken a major dip as he is yet to find form thereafter.

His second-highest individual score in Asia Cup history is the 151-run knock against Nepal in the first match of the 2023 edition. This is also the second-highest individual score in Asia Cup's history behind Virat Kohli's 183 against Pakistan in 2012.
