Former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is currently playing in the Bangladesh Premier League 2024 for Rangpur Riders, and has been coming up with decent performances for them. On Saturday too, he came up with a match-winning knock of 62 from 46 deliveries, against Durdanto Dhaka, that is a signal, that he is truly back in form.
But an untoward incident left the stylish batsman, a little angry. It happened at the time when Babar was batting, with Dhaka wicket-keeper Irfan Sukkur constantly chirping in his ear. Fed up, eventually Babar went up to Irfan, and told him, “I am not talking to you.”
Later Dhaka batsman Mohammad Naim Sheikh was seen diffusing the situation. The video also showed Babar express his displeasure to his batting partner Mohammad Nabi. But soon, the umpires stepped in as well.
