'Babar Azam Is Still Better Than Kohli': Social Media Reacts To Former Pakistan Skipper's Dismissal In 1st ODI vs Australia
Soon after Babar Azam, who is often regarded as one of the best batters from Pakistan, departed for a low score yet again, social media was flooded with all kinds of reactions
Babar Azam failed to convert his start into a big score in Australia's first ODI against Pakistan at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Stadium (MCG) in Melbourne, Australia on Monday (November 4). The former Pakistan captain was looking good while he was out there, batting on 37 having struck four boundaries but against leg-spinner Adam Zampa, his weakness was exposed yet again as he was castled by him after seemingly failing to read the length.
Soon after Babar, who is often regarded as one of the best batters from Pakistan, departed for a low score yet again, social media was flooded with all kinds of reactions. While most bashed Babar, some suggested that he was still better than Virat Kohli who had a forgettable home Test series against New Zealand.

All these players just throwing their wicket except KG who gets deadly delivery, when you face Rizwan and Babar's bowling in practice session instead of practice of bouncers then this scorecard wouldn't be a surprise. 🇵🇰's players playing our emotions 💔 #PAKvsAUS #AUSvPAK pic.twitter.com/jaPby2KxKT
