Kohli fans roast Babar Azam after yet another disappointing show against Sri Lanka

Pakistan’s batting star Babar Azam once again failed to shine in the first ODI against Sri Lanka, sparking a wave of trolling and criticism on social media. Once hailed as Pakistan’s most reliable run-scorer, Babar’s form has seen a worrying decline. His last century came back in 2023 against Nepal, and since then, fans have been waiting for his return to top form.

A Forgettable Knock

At the Pindi Cricket Stadium, Babar managed just 29 runs off 51 balls, hitting only three boundaries at a strike rate of 56.86. His inability to convert starts into big innings has become a major concern. Fans flooded social media with memes and comparisons, mocking him for allegedly mimicking Virat Kohli’s gestures and reactions without matching the Indian skipper’s batting brilliance.
