Young Pakistani opening batter Saim Ayub has been the talk of the town since making his Test debut against Australia earlier this month. The 21-year-old replaced Imam-ul-Haq in the third Test in Sydney, where he faced both highs and lows in his debut match.

Saim Ayub bagged a duck in the first innings but showcased glimpses of his potential in the second innings. He played a promising innings of 33 runs from 53 balls with the help of three boundaries and one six before Nathan Lyon ended his entertaining knock.

In the subsequent T20I series, he was slated to open the innings with Mohammad Rizwan, slipping Babar Azam to one-down position.

Saim Ayub gave Pakistan a flying start in the first T20I, while chasing as he played a blistering 27-run knock in only eight balls.

His innings was laced with two boundaries and three sixes before he got run out. His brief yet entertaining knock came at an astonishing strike rate of 337.5.

However, he registered scores of 1 and 10 in next two games, followed by one run in today’s third T20I match. He played six balls and managed only one run before Matt Henry sent him packing.

Cricket fans on social media have now started questioning the young batter’s potential which he failed to show after two good innings.

Meanwhile, some fans have defended Saim Ayub and believes he should not be judged on the basis of few innings only.
