“Ghabrana nahi hai” – Fans troll Babar Azam after successive batting failures vs England in the ODI series
Pakistan captain Babar Azam is facing the heat after his team lost the ongoing One-Day International (ODI) series against England on Saturday.
It was the second game of the three-match leg played at Lords Cricket Ground. Pakistan needed to win the contest in order to stay alive in the series as they had earlier lost the opening game as well. However, another batting failure led to Pakistan’s loss in the second fixture, thereby losing the series as well.
As far as fans are concerned, the biggest disappointment came in the form of Babar’s back-to-back batting failures. In the series opener, the Lahore-lad was sent back to the pavilion by English pacer Saqib Mahmood for a 3-ball duck. Similarly, in the second game, Babar could only contribute with 19 runs as Saqib yet again claimed his prized wicket.
Pakistan fans flooded the internet with humorous memes and jokes, poking fun and also exhibiting their frustration on Babar. Some fans even pointed out the ‘Ghabrana Nahi hai’ (don’t lose your nerves) phrase, which Babar used in the presser after losing the first game.
Here is how netizens trolled Babar:
