Sarfaraz Ahmed, on Thursday (September 19), brutally trolled Babar Azam during the ongoing game between Stallions and Dolphins in the Champions One-Day Cup.
A total of five teams are competing in the ongoing Champions One-Day Cup. All the big names from Pakistan cricket are participating in the tournament. The tournament got underway on September 12 and the final is scheduled to take place on September 29.
Talking about the incident, it took place when Babar Azam was walking out to bat and the fans were chanting his name. With the 'Babar, Babar' chant filling the stadium in Faisalabad, Sarfaraz Ahmed decided to motivate his teammates in a humorous fashion.
The former Pakistan wicketkeeper cheekily told his teammates that let Babar Azam bat for all the 40 overs and dismiss the other players.
"Inko Babar, Babar karne do. Hum Babar ko 40 over khila denge, baki sare out ho jayenge. (Let them keep chanting Babar, Babar. We will make Babar play for 40 overs, the rest of the team will get out.)," said Sarfaraz Ahmed.
As soon as the video of the incident surfaced on social media, the fans were left in splits. Many also joked that Sarfaraz Ahmed knew that Babar Azam batting for long would only benefit his team.
Here is a clip of the incident between Sarfaraz Ahmed and Babar Azam:

Talking about the game, the Stallions were on 189/4 in the 41st over at the time of writing this report. Babar was unbeaten on 51 runs off 66 balls while his partner Hussain Talat was batting on 13. With Babar getting a good start, the Stallions will be hoping that the Pakistan skipper makes the most of it and guides them to a big score.
Earlier in the game, Shan Masood and Yasir Khan gave the Stallions a good start by adding 76 runs for the first wicket. Masood departed for 34 while Yasir was out for 46. Tayyab Tahir also got the start and scored 33 while captain Mohammad Haris could score only 6.
The Stallions have started their campaign with one win and one loss and will be looking to register their second win.
