Pakistan all-format captain, Babar Azam, has bounced back after a disappointing outing in the Asia Cup 2022 by displaying performances in the T20I series against England and the ongoing tri-series in New Zealand.
Following the fourth game of the tri-series in New Zealand, renowned TV program host, Aftab Iqbal, criticized Babar Azam, saying that the all-format captain has grown egoistic and is no longer a star in his eyes.
One of the journalists started a conversation over Aftab Iqbal’s remark during the post-match press conference following Pakistan’s last group stage match against Bangladesh, in which Babar scored 55 runs off 40 balls.
In a video that went viral on social media, it can be seen that a journalist asked Babar Azam how he deals with the criticism of his captaincy in reference to the critical comments by a senior journalist in a TV show.
The stylish batter responded to the question rather in a hilarious way saying “By the way, I don’t know who you are talking about. I don’t even know him. Such things happen whether we lose or win,” he added.
HAHAHA love you babar azam for this.

Babar had also responded to Aaqib Javed’s criticism during a news conference ahead of the T20I series against England last month, saying that it’s his personal opinion, but players don’t discuss outsiders’ thoughts in the dressing room.

“Claps back”. Why don’t they give Babar Rizwan a green card already? Time for them to head on back home and play for team USA (jerseys made in China courtesy Amazon). Try to find a ship that sails to North America, instead of a flight. Preferably, named The Mayflower.
