WATCH: Babar Azam gets enraged as South African pacer hits him- Gets involved in Verbal exchange
Former Pakistan skipper Babar Azam has found his form with the bat in Test cricket. He scored his third consecutive half-century in the ongoing series against South Africa. When following-on in the Cape Town Test, Babar Azam along with captain Shan Masood pressured the Proteas with their record-breaking opening partnership.
However, a small incident happened during the 32nd over of the innings, where Wiaan Mulder made a wild throw that went on to hit Babar on the right leg. As a result, the former Pakistan skipper was raged as he looked at Mulder who was caught saying on the stump mic, “You were out of the crease“.
Wicketkeeper Kyle Verryene also made an attempt to run out as Babar had left the crease to confront the pacer. The attempted run-out was similar to that of Alex Carey when he shocked Jonny Baristow durig the previous Ashes, which caused a lot of controversy.
