Babar Azam is not only the leading Pakistani batsman but a brilliant captain as well. He is the most successful captain in Pakistani history of cricket with a positive winning percentage of more than fifty percent in all formats of the game. He has more wins than losses in all formats of the game as a captain.
In test cricket he has led Pakistan to 8 wins and 6 losses which is a pretty decent record as captain. Those 8 wins include a clean sweep against South Africa at home 2-0 which was Pakistan first test series win against South Africa in 18 years.
As twenty20 captain he has led Pakistan to the finals of Asia Cup and World Cup Twenty20 cricket 2022 last year. He also led Pakistan to the Semi Finals of 2021 Twenty20 World Cup.So that's pretty decent going as a captain.
In ODI cricket he led Pakistan to an ODI series win against Australia which is pretty rare as we rarely win against Australia these days.
In the end I would like to say that Babar Azam has performed pretty well as a captain and as a player. He didnt let captaincy effect his performance as a player. I think he should continue to play as a captain.
