During the T20 World Cup 2026 build-up, former Pakistan stars took a surprising swipe at captain Babar Azam on live television, raising eyebrows across the cricketing world
Former Pakistan players Mohammad Hafeez and Kamran Akmal were seen joking about Babar’s poor form and recent struggles during a live TV show
Hafeez and Akmal didn’t just critique Babar’s batting, they made light of his slump, implying he’s become unreliable in big matches. Their laughter raised eyebrows
The on-air mockery sparked a wave of bizarre online bets, people placing silly wagers about whether Babar would even score in the upcoming India match
Social media went into overdrive: some fans found the jokes funny, others called the trolling disrespectful, especially ahead of a marquee game
With Pakistan set to face India, all eyes will be on Babar Azam, not just to score runs, but to silence critics and prove doubters wrong
