Pakistan’s cricket captain, Babar Azam, has once again found himself in the spotlight, but not for his performance on the field. Recently, several videos have gone viral on social media, causing mixed reactions from fans. These incidents have led to renewed discussions about his attitude and form, especially as he prepares for the upcoming Champions Cup, Pakistan’s domestic ODI tournament.
Viral Fan Incident Sparks Debate
In one of the viral videos, Babar is seen interacting with a fan during a practice session. The fan approached him for a selfie, but when the fan placed a hand on Babar’s shoulder, the cricketer immediately removed it. This action has sparked controversy, with some fans criticizing his reaction, especially given his recent struggles with the bat. Many have expressed disappointment, stating that despite his poor form, his “attitude” remains unchanged. Some supporters, however, defended Babar, saying he might have just wanted personal space.
Girl Records Video Without Consent
In another viral clip, Babar is seen practicing on the field when a young woman approaches and starts recording a video close to him. Babar focused on his practice, did not react or stop her from filming. The incident has stirred curiosity among fans, with many wondering about the identity of the girl and why Babar chose not to respond to her actions. The video has garnered significant attention on social media, with fans sharing mixed opinions about the cricketer’s calm behavior during the incident.
Struggles with Form Continue
Babar Azam’s recent performances have not been up to his usual standards. In a practice match ahead of the Champions Cup, Babar, playing for the Stallions team, was bowled by 25-year-old left-arm spinner Mohammad Asghar. Babar attempted a sweep shot but missed the ball entirely, getting bowled for just 20 runs. This dismissal added to his string of underwhelming performances, as Babar has not scored a half-century in his last 16 Test innings.
His recent form has raised concerns among fans and experts alike. Pakistan’s defeat to Bangladesh in the recent Test series, where Babar failed to make an impact, led to heavy criticism from fans. Many believe that Babar needs to regain his form quickly, as he remains a crucial figure in Pakistan’s cricketing future.
As the Champions Cup approaches, all eyes will be on Babar Azam, both for his on-field performance and his conduct off the field. Fans hope that the star batsman will return to his best form soon and silence his critics with his bat.
