WATCH: ‘Babar ko chalis over khila denge’ – Sarfaraz Ahmed takes hilarious jibe at Babar Azam during Champions One-Day Cup

Sarfaraz Ahmed takes hilarious jibe at Babar Azam during Champions One-Day Cup.

Former Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed took a funny dig at current white-ball skipper Babar Azam In match no.7 of the ongoing Champions Cup one-day. The incident, which occurred during a game between the Dolphins and Stallions at the Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, has gone viral. Babar has long been praised for his classical approach to batting in One Day Internationals (ODIs). However, in recent years, his strike rate has come under scrutiny. 

In the clip, Sarfaraz was heard saying to his teammates, “Theek hai, theek hai. Jaldi nahi hai, jaldi nahi hai. Bas in logo ko bolo Babar Babar karte rahe. Hum Babar ko chalis over khila denge. Shabaash. Baaki saare out ho jayenge. Boys, come on lads.” (It’s okay, there’s no hurry. Let the crowd keep saying Babar, Babar. We will make him play 40 overs. The rest will get out.)

Babar Azam smashed an unbeaten century 

Despite having impressive records in the 50-over format, including 5729 runs at an average of 88.75, the right-hand batter’s strike rate of 88 has been a point of contention. In T20 Internationals, his strike rate of 129 is considered below par for the format’s demanding pace.

Meanwhile, the star batter didn’t disappoint his fans and answered all the questions with a brilliant unbeaten century. He smashed a 100-ball 104, lacing his innings with seven boundaries and three sixes. His innings helped the Stallions post 271/7 after their allotted 50 overs.
