The national side of Pakistan were in action in international cricket after a gap due to the recently-concluded Pakistan Super League 2023. The team was studded with most of the youngsters and less experienced players except the star all-rounder and stand-in skipper Shadab Khan. Although the men in green hadn’t an expected outing in the first of the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan.
Both teams played the series opener at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah. Pak skipper Shadab won the toss and asked his batters to take the charge first. Things completely backfired for Pakistan as their batting order completely surrendered against the bowling lineup of Afghanistan and could score only 92 runs for the loss of nine wickets in the entire allotted 20 overs.
Meanwhile, the star Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Azam Khan also went to hit the headlines of social media after the conclusion of the match against Rashid Khan’s men. An unbelievable and amazing death-stare look of Azam Khan towards former Afghan skipper Mohammad Nabi after the end of the match.
A section of eagle-eyed fans didn’t miss noticing this look of Azam Khan; they immediately took to Twitter and came up with a lot of interesting and hilarious reactions to this look of Azam Khan.
Here’s how fans reacted:
