Babar later became upset with himself and banged his bat to the ground in a fit of rage. Babar was upset that the penultimate ball of the innings, bowled by Rumman Raees, only allowed him to get a single after hitting the toe of his bat and rolling over to deep mid-wicket for a simple one.
They say Babar is selfish, Babar is there for personal goals. No man you don’t know a word about Babar. You don’t know how he stands alone for his team, how he saves his team from humiliation. Babar Azam is alone warrior 🙌💥#BabarAzam𓃵

After the match, Babar revealed the conversation he had with Hasan on the field. “I wasn’t saying much to him. I was just trying to compete with him because everyone knows that since he is making a comeback, he would put in extra effort. He wasn’t in the best of forms but the way he bowled tonight, it shows that he is getting his rhythm back. I was having a bit of interaction with him, trying to put him under pressure but I guess it didn’t work,” said Babar.
