Babar Azam Fight- (Source:@ScreenGrab)
In the ongoing match between Pakistan and South Africa at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town, star batter Babar Azam has hogged the internet as he lost his cool on Wiaan Mulder, who hit him with the ball out of frustration.
Notably, it has been a terrific day for Babar as he slammed twin fifties on the same day. However, the same cannot be said for Pakistan, as the visitors tumbled for just 194 runs in the first innings. As a result, the Proteas enforced a follow-on and asked Pakistan to bat again.
Hoping for the same result as in the first innings, Babar Azam and Shan Masood came as a surprise as they stitched a 150-run opening stand for Pakistan. The frustration crept in for Temba Bavuma-led side and as a result, Wiaan Mulder hit Babar with the ball as he spotted the former Pakistan skipper out of the crease.
The incident occurred during Mulder's over, following which Babar lost his cool and showed the bowler where the stumps were. Babar even came face to face with Mulder and hurled him a mouthful. Watch the incident here.
Babar Azam Frustrate South Africa With Twin Fifties
It has been a day of delight for Babar Azam fans as their idol slammed two fifties in a day. It is worth noting that Babar was struggling for form as he had no fifties in the 19 innings till first Test against South Africa, but he then bounced back strongly and now has three fifties in three innings.
Talking about the match, Pakistan are 155/0 and they are making South Africa pay for enforcing the follow-on.
