Pakistan fans troll Babar Azam with ‘ZimBabar’ chants after his poor performance in second innings at Multan

Even after a gritty knock of 75 runs in the first innings of the Test match, the Pakistan skipper was brutally trolled after he failed to deliver a good performance in the second innings of the second Test against England at Multan.

Chasing a target of 355 runs, the 28-year-old was completely outfoxed by Ollie Robinson when he was batting at 1. While returning back to the dressing room after a rare failure, Babar was greeted with ‘ZimBabar’ chants from one section of the fans.

The crowd seemed to boo him as they expected another masterclass from the cricketer to eventually help Pakistan settle the score in the ongoing Test series. The reaction from a section of crowd has also attracted a lot of criticism with Pakistan cricketers coming out in support of their skipper.

Shame on u bad people 😡 shame on u..!!
Respect ur hero🙏🙏🤲#BabarAzam𓃵 #PakvsEng2022 pic.twitter.com/jdwEuHGaGV

England defeated Pakistan by 26 runs to win the second Test and the historic series

Even after a terrific fightback from Pakistan in the fourth innings, Babar Azam and company fell 26 runs short to make a comeback in the series. Saud Shakeel (94) and Imam-ul-Haq (60) played some brilliant cricket but soon after their dismissal, their tail-end was exposed as none of them could help Pakistan take the game home. Mohammad Nawaz (45) tried to restore the momentum, but the English bowlers absolutely dominated the second half of the day and won the match and the series.

Speedster Mark Wood picked up four wickets while James Anderson and Ollie Robinson picked up two each. Courtesy of his impactful century in the second innings, middle-order batter Harry Brook was adjudged the Player of the Match.

English skipper Ben Stokes was elated with the historic series win as the English players travelled to Pakistan for a Test series after 17 long years. Lauding his bowlers, Stokes assessed the positives for them from the match.

“Obviously different conditions and differently played games but fantastic to be a part of both the games. We had a look at the wicket and it was tricky against slow bowling, but as the game progressed the cracks opened up and our seamers came into the game. The way in which Jimmy and Robbo bowled in the series and our spinners as well, they are going to deliver more often that not (referring to him not bowling),” said the 31-year-old.
