Srinagar: The Pakistan star batter and all format captain Babar Azam has certainly become a brand with his small acts turning into viral moments on internet. The latest his Babar Azam’s net session video that has gone viral.
Pakistan cricket team is in Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series, which gets underway from July 16 at the Galle International Cricket Stadium.
The preparations for the same are in full swing and on Tuesday fans got a close look at Babar Azam practicing in the nets, the video of which was shared by Cricket Pakistan on social media.
In the video, the number one ranked ODI batter is seen knocking the ball comfortably in both directions of the wicket, also instructing the person delivering throwdown to surprise him with bouncers.
The video starts with Babar saying “Allah” just after leaving a ball outside the off-stump. He then follows it up by timing the ball perfectly towards covers, after which the Pakistan skipper says, “Babar day bachay!”
Babar is seen at his animated best throughout the 1 minute 28 seconds long clip, which can be told by the loud exasperation he releases after mistiming a length ball way outside the off-stump.
We also see him appreciating some of his shots as he can be heard saying “Haye Haye” right after knocking the ball towards mid-on, or the “oye lala” remark after pulling a short delivery towards square leg.
He then engages in a chat with the person giving throwdown, asking him “bouncer apni marzi se maro,” before adding “Woh Poochke Thori Karaienge (the opposition won’t ask me before bowling a bouncer.)”
