‘Even Sarfraz speaks better English than him’ – Fans Troll Babar Azam On Social Media For His Post-match Presentation After The Second ODI Against The Netherlands
Babar Azam is currently busy playing the three-match ODI series against the Netherlands. However, Pakistan has already sealed the series by winning both matches so far. Now, just one more match to go on 21 August 2022. Meanwhile, the home side managed to give a tough fight in the first match.
But, in the second match, Pakistan won comfortably by seven wickets. Speaking of the match, the home side opted to bat first after winning the toss. Pakistan bowlers started brilliantly as the Netherlands lost three quick wickets for eight runs only. Bas de Leede (89 runs off 120 balls) and Tom Cooper (66 runs off 74 balls) stitched a solid partnership in the middle. Thus, they ended up scoring 186 runs in 44.1 overs. Haris Rauf and Mohammad Nawaz took three wickets each in the match.
Babar Azam scored another fifty-plus runs in another ODI in his career
In reply. Pakistan openers also failed to give a proper start to their team. Pakistan was in a bit of trouble after losing both the players for 11 runs only. But, skipper Babar Azam and wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan came up with a solid partnership. Currently, Babar is the top-ranked batter in both the ODI and T20I formats. Babar scored 57 runs off 65 balls while Rizwan smashed 69* runs off 82 balls. Salman Agha also scored an unbeaten fifty off 35 balls only, including two sixes. He smashed those runs at a strike rate of 142.85. Mohammad Nawaz was the player of the match for his impressive bowling display.
However, a funny incident happened during the post-match presentation. Pakistan skipper Babar Azam came to attend that post-match presentation. But, his English speaking abilities were quite funny. The video of that presentation got viral. It got surfaced quickly over the internet. Fans started to laugh out at his style as they blamed him to learn better English for the future days.
Here is how fans have reacted to that shared post-match presentation of Babar Azam after the second ODI against the Netherlands:

@TheRealPCB must ensure to groom their top players how to talk in presentations just like @BCCI do. As the players have to talk to the world media and if they can't talk properly they will be a joke in front of the world.

When the commentator knew he cannot speak in English, what was the need to ask him in English. The way the commentator didn't know Hindi, Babar also didn't know English….simple

If he knew English then his will not be there where he is now.
He worked hard to become exceptional batter. If he spend time in studying than only thing he knew was English.— Zain ul Abdin (@ZainulA23496864) August 20, 2022
