In the video, Babar Azam could be seen going down after the delivery hit his groin area. After being down for a couple of minutes, he attempts to recuperate with some stretches. Azam is then seen struggling to face the bowler in the net, still reeling under the effect of the impact of the delivery. He was bowled out a few deliveries later.
