“Baggy Green” As Babar Azam Walks Out For Toss
Some fans appear to have applauded for Babar as he entered the stadium. Meanwhile, Pakistan Cricket shared the video with the caption: “Baggy green is on. The green blazer is on. Test cricket feels. #SLvPAK #BackTheBoysInGreen.”
It’s worth noting that Pakistan captain Babar Azam was recently praise for his heartfelt gesture toward India batter Virat Kohli. After Kohli bowl out for a 25-ball 16 in India’s second ODI against England, Babar consoled him by giving him the strength to fight his slump with the bat.
“This, too, will pass. Maintain your fortitude. #ViratKohli, “said Babar in a social media post that included a photo of the duo standing together, with Kohli’s right hand on the Pakistan captain’s right shoulder.
Babar’s Twitter post has received over 240k likes and 44k retweets. From fans to former international cricketers, everyone praised Babar for going above and beyond to inspire Kohli.
On the other hand, Kohli’s current tour to England has been a flop, as he continues to struggle with his batting form. While Kohli scored 11 and 20 in the rescheduled fifth and final Test against England, he also scored 1 and 11 in the two T20Is before scoring 16 in the second ODI.
