Things have not been going right for the Pakistan cricket team and its captain, Babar Azam. Following their loss against the United States in the opening match of the T20 World Cup 2024, played at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas on June 6, Babar and his team have become the target of criticism and trolling. Now, ahead of their big clash against India, Babar Azam is getting brutally trolled on social media for giving a wrong answer during a press conference.
Babar Azam Gets Trolled
In a recent press conference ahead of the India vs. Pakistan clash, Babar Azam was asked about their loss against the co-host nation, USA. A reporter asked Babar, “Should we call it an upset or did the USA play extraordinarily well?” However, Babar misunderstood the question and replied by saying, “Yes, I am upset.” The clip of this interaction is now going viral across the internet at a rapid pace.
English Misunderstanding
English is not Babar Azam’s first language, so there are obvious chances of him making a mistake. However, trolls on the internet have seized the opportunity to mock the Pakistan skipper. Despite this, Babar needs to look past the trolling and prepare for the game against Team India.
Babar Expresses Disappointment After Loss Against USA
Babar Azam expressed his disappointment with his team’s performance in the clash against the USA, which went to the Super Over, eventually resulting in a loss for Pakistan.
“First 6 overs while batting we didn’t capitalize. Back-to-back wickets always put you on the back foot; as a batter, you need to step up and build partnerships. We were not up to the mark in the first 6 overs with the ball. Our spinners also did not take wickets in the middle overs, so these things cost us. Very hard, all credit to the USA; they played better than us in all three departments. Little bit of moisture in the pitch, it was also two-paced. As a professional, you need to assess the conditions,” said Babar in the post-match press conference.
