Pakistan skipper Babar Azam was trolled brutally after falling cheaply in PAK vs NED World Cup clash at Hyderabad on Friday. Babar scored 5 off 18 balls before getting caught at short mid-wicket.
After being put to bat, the 28-year-old walked out after the dismissal of Fakhar Zaman. While fans were expecting another Babar masterclass on a flat deck, the Pakistan skipper disappointed his fans after he mistimed a pull shot and got caught.
Notably, Babar Azam was coming into this game after scoring a brilliant 90 against Australia in the warm-up. However, the star batter struggled to get going against Netherlands and was eventually dismissed while going for a big shot.
Watch Babar Azam’s innings here:
Fans on Twitter were relentless in trolling Babar and called him stats padder for performing against lower-ranked teams like Zimbabwe and Nepal.
Here are some of the best reactions:
Talking about the game, Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel have steadied the Pakistan innings after 3 quick wickets. The duo have put on a 50+ partnership and are scoring at a good pace. Earlier, Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards won the toss and opted to bowl against Pakistan in the World Cup 2023 match on Friday.
