IND vs PAK: Wasim Jaffer Brutally Trolls Babar Azam Ahead Of World Cup Clash

As Babar Azam gears up to lead Pakistan in the mega clash against India, former batsman Wasim Jaffer has taken a cheeky dig at him. The much-anticipated India vs Pakistan clash is scheduled to be played on Saturday (October 14) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

All eyes will be on the Pakistan skipper as he desperately tries to regain his form. Babar Azam has struggled to do well with the bat in recent times. He has not scored a fifty in 5 games since the 151-run knock against Nepal in the Asia Cup 2023 opener. In the Super 4 stage of the continental champions, he registered scores of 17, 10, and 29 as Pakistan failed to qualify for the final.

The right-handed batter looked in good touch during the warm-up games as he scored 80 and 90 against New Zealand and Australia respectively. However, the Pakistan batting mainstay has struggled with his form in the ongoing World Cup. In the first game, he was out for 5 against the Netherlands before being dismissed for 10 against Sri Lanka.

Wasim Jaffer trolls Babar Azam:

Babar Azam is facing the heat for his poor run with the bat in recent times and he would be desperate to score big against India. A good knock against the arch-rivals would not only ease the pressure on him but would also give him a special place in the cricketing folklore.

And while only time will tell how the game unfolds for Babar Azam, he has been trolled by Wasim Jaffer ahead of the contest. The former cricketer took to X (formerly Twitter) to poke some fun at the Pakistan star, writing that India would hope Babar continues his current form in the match.
