Watch: ‘Zimbabar, Zimbabar’ chants erupt as Babar Azam walks back to pavilion against England

On 11 December 2022, Pakistan are busy playing the second Test match of the series in Multan. The home side already suffered a 74-run loss at the hands of England in the first Test match in Rawalpindi. So, Babar Azam was looking to win this game in order to level the series with one more match to go. However, Babar had a mixed performance in the last match. 

In the first innings, he scored 136 runs while he scored only four runs. So, fans were hoping for a better performance from their star batter in this clash. Meanwhile, in the first innings of the second Test, Babar scored 75 runs off 95 balls. But, again in the second innings, he got out on one run only. Now, a video has gone viral where fans were seen coming up with a disrespectful chant for the batter when he was going back to the pavilion. 

Here is the shared video:

This is not the right way to treat our stars, Babar Azam is our pride and he deserves respect.

Babar Azam scored only one run off 10 balls in the second innings while chasing 355 runs

Speaking of the video, the indecent took place after Babar Azam got out. In the 19th over of that inning, Babar Azam lost his off-stump against a beautiful delivery from Ollie Robinson. Babar Azam was absolutely clueless as he shouldered arm that delivery. The ball nipped back from the surface and it hit the off-stump. 

Thus, fans were not happy after seeing him score only one run while chasing 355 runs to win this match. It was another opportunity for him to score big and help Pakistan to win that Test. But, he failed again and that’s why fans were upset. After the dismissal, Babar was seen walking back to the dressing room.

During that time, some fans were heard screaming ‘Zimbabar, Zimbabar’ chant when he was crossing the stands. It seemed that they wanted to point out that he only scores against teams like Zimbabwe. Speaking of the match, at the end of Day three, Pakistan scored 198 runs for four wickets in the fourth innings.
