Babar Azam just snapped so hard at Zainab Abbas and we’re cringing here.
Pakistani cricket team is playing a Test series against New Zealand and one player in particular had been doing really well, Babar Azam.
Azam scored his maiden century in the second Test match, bringing up hopes for Pakistan to actually be able to tie this series against the Kiwis.
Congratulations on first Test 100 Babar Azam! It is always a special moment, I still remember mine 😇 Well played Haris Sohail hope we will get quick wkts tomorrow, must win game 🇵🇰#PAKvNZ

After the innings Zainab Abbas congratulated Babar for his performance
Well played @babarazam258 – loved how the boys went congratulating Mickey Arthur celebrating his “son’s” century #PakvNZ

Now, to an ordinary person this tweet sounds like Mickey Arthur, the coach, may be a strong mentor to Babar Azam even a paternal figure so Zainab mentioned the “son” thing while congratulating Babar. However, Babar just took the message in a very, very wrong way.
Babar snapped back at her and boy oh boy, he did not hold back
He was brutal.

Babar Azam is the top trend on Pakistani Twitter right now
While most people are finding it pretty funny

Others are even criticizing Babar for losing his cool over a light hearted comment by Zainab that wasn’t made to taunt him
Babar Azam typical lahoriya low IQ.

Not saying that Education/English speaking skills should be pre-requisite to play International but what Babar Azam, our most talented batsman, just did is the clear cut case of lack of education.
Its better if players are made to stay away from social media or hire SM managers.

This person is trying to find a conspiracy behind this interaction between the player and the commentator
https://twitter.com/Hijabhere/status/1066735910023323654
And this guy’s trying to explain the situation
https://twitter.com/AsharJawad/status/1066742061150420993
But all in all, this dude just summed up the whole thing pretty well

Do you think Zainab “crossed the limits” as Babar thinks or did you get that she was making that comment in jest? Can’t wait to see how this drama unfolds. Knowing Zainab, though, we think it’s pretty much going to be her explaining to Babar bhai what she really meant and this whole thing will clear up. But… we can always hope for drama 😜
