In a disappointing turn of events for Pakistan fans, Babar Azam, the renowned batter, faced yet another setback in his Test cricket career during the Boxing Day Test against Australia at the M🦩elbourne Cricket Ground. The star batter manage꧙d to score only one run on Day 2, extending his lean patch and adding to the frustration of fans.
Year 2023: A struggling period for Babar
Babar’s struggles in Test cricket throughout the year 2023 were apparent, with a mere 162 runs to his name and an average of just 23. The Boxing Day Test was viewed as a golden opportunity for Babar to break free from his slump and contribute significantly, especially as Pakistan aimed to end their 15-match losing streak in Australia.
Babar’s disappointing performance
The anticipation surrounding Babar’s performance was high, particularly after his subpar showing in the first Test where he scored only 21 and 14 runs in the two innings. Following his resignation from the captaincy post the Cricket World Cup, expectations were that Babar would step up and lead by example in the challenging Australian conditions.

Put Cummins stuns Babar
However, Aussie skipper Pat Cummins had different plans, delivering a remarkable ball to dismiss Babar early in the innings. Cummins bowled on a good length and it came back in sharply. Babar pressed forward𝄹 to block, thinking he has the line covered but the ball🔜 moved in enough to go through the bat-pad gap and hit the top of off stump.
Twitter, as always, became the platform for fans to express their disappointment and frustration. Various tweets poured in, criticizing Babar’s performance and questioning his form. Some expressed disbelief, while others shared humorous takes on the situation.
