“Naturally Not An Opener”: Mohammad Azharuddin’s Big Statement On Babar Azam | Cricket News
After facing defeats against Australia in ODI series and England in the T20Is and Tests, Pakistan registered yet another loss at the home soil against New Zealand in the recently concluded ODIs. Skipper Babar Azam , who scored 66 and 79 runs in the first two matches, has been facing severe criticism from the fans and experts for his style of batting. As Pakistan had a forgettable run in their recent outing, many questions have also been raised on Babar's captaincy. However, former India skipper Mohammad Azharuddin has a very different opinion on the 28-year-old batter. Azharuddin stated that Babar is not a natural opener and should bat at No 4, as it would be really beneficial for the team. “Pakistan have two important openers - Rizwan and Babar. In the last big tournament, Babar was dismissed lbw a lot of times. These are the things you need to think of. If you are not getting runs at the top of the order then you should bat at No.3 or 4 and it would benefit Pakistan as … [Read more...] about “Naturally Not An Opener”: Mohammad Azharuddin’s Big Statement On Babar Azam | Cricket News

‘Joke’ Indian Tweet Lands Babar Azam In Fake Sexting Media Storm | Cricket News
Indian media is awash with articles on how Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam was allegedly "sexting" another player's girlfriend. The problem: it's false news that originated in a "joke" tweet from a parody account. Illustrating how misinformation can morph into accepted reality and explode online, as well as the bitter enmity between India and Pakistan, media failed to notice -- or chose to overlook -- that the Twitter account was not meant to be taken seriously. The person behind the parody account, who remains anonymous, apologised on Twitter to Azam -- who has remained silent throughout -- and attacked what he called India's "clown media". The original tweet -- which has since been deleted -- by the "Dr. Nimo Yadav" account on January 15 said that Azam had been "sexting with gf (girlfriend) of another Pakistan cricketer". Not only that, but the player was "promising her that her bf (boyfriend) won't be out of team if she keeps sexting with him... I hope Allah is … [Read more...] about ‘Joke’ Indian Tweet Lands Babar Azam In Fake Sexting Media Storm | Cricket News
