I know My Captain Would Make A Strong Comeback As He Did The Past. BE STRONG CAPTAIN We All Are With You.
Seriously This Is Such A Heart Break Situation For A Cricket Fan😭💔#Sarfaraz #PCB pic.twitter.com/TCTQVgsw8S— Ali Shah Nayani (@NayaniSpeaks) October 18, 2019
Maybe captaincy wasn't his cup of tea but I always rated Sarfaraz as a cricketer. Huge pressure now on Babar Azam, already the best batsman, now captain too in limited overs cricket.

The most successful captain of T20 format replaced only on the basis of failure in just one series!!
