The Pakistani cricketer Babar Azam is certainly going through a tough phase and things have gone so bad that the fans who used to call him King at one point of time are trolling him nowadays. Due to his slow strike rate, Babar Azam is not considered as a T20I player by many fans and experts but he is in the team because nobody can deny the fact that he is the best Pakistan has.
During the second T20I between Pakistan and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), Pakistan’s star batter Babar Azam faced a troubling encounter with a section of the crowd. While fielding near the boundary line, Babar became the target of harsh taunts from a few spectators. The fans, believed to be of the Pakistani origin, directed mocking and derogatory remarks at the Pakistani cricketer. A viral video circulating on social media captures the incident, where the group can be heard yelling, “Have some shame, Babar Azam. There’s no place for you in the T20 team. Go back, you don’t deserve to be here.”
Initially, Babar Azam attempted to ignore the jeering but after continued provocations, he turned and shot a stern glare toward the spectators—a clear sign of his frustration.

Pakistan got whitewashed in the 3-match T20I series against Australia and the irony was that Babar Azam was the highest scorer for his team in the 3rd T20I as he scored 41 runs for which he played 28 balls and his innings included 4 fours.
Batting first, Pakistan could manage only 117 runs in 18.1 overs and the hosts successfully chased the target in 11.2 overs with 7 wickets in hand.
Mocking a player who has made you proud on some occasions is certainly shameful, isn’t it?
