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.
