The skipper of Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League, Babar Azam is under the scanner for his slow batting intent in the 25th match he played against Quetta Gladiators; Both teams played this match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. Babar Azam won the toss and decided to bat first.
Although the opening pair of skipper Babar and young batter Saim Ayub provided a brilliant start to Zalmi by scoring 162 runs for the first wicket in 13.3 overs. But later on, the skipper himself slowed down his batting approach when he was nearing his century. Meanwhile, the former New Zealand cricketer and currently, an active commentator in PSL, Simon Doull was of a critical opinion for Babar Azam when the latter was batting on score of 99 runs.
“You’re looking for a hundred rather than putting the team first, hundreds are great, stats are brilliant but it must be team first,” said Simon Doull during his commentary stint in the PSL match between Peshawar and Quetta.
Here's when Simon Doull Criticized Babar Azam:
Later on, this statement from the veteran cricket pundit went on to spread immediately like wildfire; subsequently, both Indian and Pakistan fans reacted to the statement of Simon Doull. Most of the cricket fans of both countries took it as a chance to troll Babar Azam for his slow batting approach.
Here’s how fans reacted:
Babar’s knock faced criticism because the way he was batting by the 15th over could help Peshawar to add a bit more runs to their total of 240 runs for the loss of two wickets in the allotted 20 overs. He got dismissed in a run out by Aimal Khan on the individual score of 115 runs off 65 balls including 15 boundaries and three sixes to his name.
While chasing the target, it was England star Jason Roy who came with all guns blazing for the Quetta Gladiators and played a blistering knock of 145 runs off just 63 balls; he accumulated these runs with an amazing strike rate of 230.15 alongside 20 boundaries and five sixes.
On the back of his knock and a thrilling cameo of 41 runs off just 18 balls by the veteran batter ‘Professor Mohammad Hafeez helped Quetta easily chase the target of 241 runs only in 18.2 overs; winning the match by a big margin of eight wickets with 10 balls to spare.
