Babar Azam brutally trolled on social media after his poor show against West Indies

Pakistan captain Babar Azam’s struggled with the bat continued on Sunday, as he fell for a three-ball duck in the second ODI against the West Indies at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba. Facing Jayden Seales in the ninth over, Babar was undone by a full delivery that swung late and crashed into his stumps.

The West Indies crowd erupted in celebration while Babar walked back visibly frustrated.

Social Media Turns Ruthless

The dismissal, Babar’s first duck in 31 ODIs, quickly went viral. Fans flooded social media with memes and sarcastic remarks about his form. “Babar Azam missed his century by 100 runs,” joked one user, while another labelled him “the most overrated batsman in Pakistan cricket history.”
Others pointed to the strong support he has enjoyed from past coaches and captains, suggesting he has only himself to blame for his current struggles.

A Century Drought That Won’t End

Babar’s last century came against Nepal in the Asia Cup 2023, when he scored a magnificent 151. Since then, he has gone 71 innings without reaching three figures, sparking debate over his consistency. While he continues to anchor innings, his inability to convert starts into big scores is under scrutiny.

Pressure Mounts Ahead

In the first ODI of this series, Babar made 47 off 64 balls to help Pakistan chase a tricky target. However, with the century drought dragging on, pressure is mounting for a match-winning knock. As the series continues, all eyes will be on whether Babar can silence his critics and rediscover his golden touch.
