Pakistan National Cricket Team batter Babar Azam didn't have a great game with the bat in the ongoing first Test against the West Indies National Cricket Team. The first match of the two-match series between the two teams is taking place at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan.

Babar Azam, although he didn't have a great outing with the bat, is making sure that he keeps the intensity high on the field. The premier Pakistan National Cricket Team batter has been animated on the field and also has been giving hilarious moments that have caught the attention of many.

One such moment came during the West Indies' first innings when Sajid Khan removed Kavem Hodge. The spinner came up with a brilliant effort with the ball and then complimented it well with the catch that he took to send the West Indies National Cricket Team bat in the hut.

Sajid Khan bowled a tossed-up ball outside off, to which Kavem Hodge came down the track and played the drive to the left of the bowler. The spinner went with his left hand but failed to gather it as it popped out but he showed great presence of mind while falling down.

As he tumbled down, he hung on as he clutched the ball to his collarbone. He got up and threw the ball away before doing his trademark celebration. But what caught the attention of many was the celebration of the Pakistan National Cricket Team batter Babar Azam.

As all the players ran towards Sajid Khan, Babar Azam came up with a hilarious reaction. He tapped on the bald head of Sajid Khan before making his way back to the fielding position.
