Babar Azam Ridiculed By Fans In Australia

Chaotic Scenes As Aussie Supporters Mock Pakistani Skipper

'You're A Choker In T20s!'

Babar Azam, the Pakistani cricket team captain, faced relentless mockery from Australian fans during his side's tour Down Under. The incident occurred during the first T20I match between Australia and Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

As Azam walked out to bat, a section of the crowd erupted in jeers and chants, with some fans holding signs that read, "T20 Choker!" and "You Can't Win Big Matches!" The hostile reception seemed to affect Azam, who was dismissed for a golden duck in the very first over.

The fans' ire towards Azam stemmed from Pakistan's recent T20 record. Under Azam's captaincy, the team has failed to win a major T20 tournament, despite being ranked among the top sides in the world. This has led to criticism of Azam's leadership and tactical acumen.

Despite the criticism, Azam remains a popular figure in Pakistan and is widely regarded as one of the best batsmen in the world. However, his inability to translate his individual brilliance into team success has become a source of frustration for many fans.

Pakistani Fans Defend Azam

While some fans criticized Azam for his performance, others defended the skipper, arguing that he was being unfairly targeted. They pointed to Azam's impressive batting record and his dedication to the team.

One fan said, "Babar is a great player. He's just going through a tough time right now. We need to support him and give him time to regain his form." Another fan added, "The fans who are booing Babar are just being negative. They don't appreciate what he's done for Pakistan cricket." The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) also came to Azam's defense, issuing a statement that condemned the "unfair and disrespectful" treatment of the captain.

Despite the PCB's statement, it remains to be seen whether the fans will continue to criticize Azam if Pakistan fails to perform well in the upcoming T20 World Cup. The tournament will be a major test for Azam and his team, and could determine whether he retains the captaincy.
