The talisman right-handed batter appeared unaffected by the social media storm, despite the fact that neither Babar Azam nor the Pakistan Cricket Board has provided any official comment regarding the leaked intimate conversations, videos, or accusations of “sexting.”
On and off the field, Pakistan captain and arguably one of the world’s best batters, Babar Azam, is going through a rough time. To be fair, his batting is not particularly bad.
After scoring 161 runs in the two-Test series, he scored two half-centuries in the three-match ODI series against New Zealand. However, Pakistan’s performance has damaged its reputation. Pakistan fell 1-2 to New Zealand in the ODI series.
They barely managed to get a draw on the Test, which also didn’t go their way. In addition, this occurred following their crushing defeat at home in the historic Test series against England.
Pakistan has lost two and won none of the three-Test series they have played at home under Babar Azam’s captaincy against Australia, England, and New Zealand.
In the midst of all of this, videos and chats that Babar Azam allegedly had with a woman were leaked online. Babar was accused of “sexting” with the girlfriend of another Pakistan cricketer, promising her that if she continued to talk, her boyfriend would be in the Pakistan team.
Although the claims’ veracity was up for debate, the leaked screenshots caused a stir on social media. Some people thought the chat, videos, and audio files were real. While others thought it was just an attempt to hurt Babar Azam’s reputation.
The talisman right-handed batter appeared unaffected by the social media storm. But neither Babar nor the Pakistan Cricket Board has provided an official statement regarding the incident.
The Pakistan captain shared a photo of himself with a one-line caption on Instagram and Twitter. It doesn’t take much to be content.”
On Babar’s post’s comments section, thousands of fans offered their support and pleaded with him to maintain his strength.
