Babar Azam, one of Pakistan’s most celebrated cricketers, finds himself under the microscope yet again. Known for his stylish batting and calm demeanor at the crease, Babar has been going through a rough patch, and things just took a surprising turn during a recent practice match.
In preparation for the upcoming Champions One-Day Cup, where he will represent the Stallions, Babar faced a local bowler who handed him a rare and embarrassing dismissal.
Babar Azam Bowled In Viral Moment
During a practice match between the Stallions and Lions, left-arm spinner Mohammad Asghar clean-bowled Babar Azam with a beauty of a delivery. It was an attempted paddle sweep from Babar that went completely wrong. The ball snuck under his bat and crashed into his stumps, leaving fans and critics stunned.
A video of the moment quickly went viral on social media, fueling more discussion about Babar’s current form.
Credit has to go to Mohammad Asghar, who bowled with great precision. His delivery was perfectly placed, tempting Babar to go for an aggressive shot. Unfortunately for Babar, his timing was off, and the paddle sweep misfire added to his recent batting woes.
For those who might not know, Asghar has experience on the big stage, having played two seasons for Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) from 2016 to 2018, where he took 21 wickets. His ability to trouble one of the world’s best batters shows his quality as a spinner.

For Babar, this tournament is a golden opportunity to regain his form and silence his critics. The pressure is on, but if history has taught us anything, it’s that great players rise when the odds are against them.
