Ravi Ashwin On Babar Azam: In the first match of the Champions Trophy, New Zealand defeated Pakistan by a big margin of 60 runs. After this defeat, the Pakistani team is constantly falling prey to criticism. At the same time, Babar Azam has come under target of fans due to his slow innings. Actually, Babar Azam scored 64 runs off 90 balls against New Zealand. Fans on social media say that since Pakistan was a target of 321 runs, Babar Azam’s batting was beyond comprehension. However, now former Indian spinner Ravi Ashwin has responded to Babar Azam’s innings.
‘Great example of the story of turtle and rabbit …’
Ravi Ashwin has posted from his X account (Twitter). In which he has written that a 50 -run partnership between Babar Azam and Salman Ali Aga is a great example of the story of the turtle and rabbit. However, Ravi Ashwin’s post is becoming increasingly viral on social media. Apart from this, social media users are continuously giving their feedback by commenting.
Babar’s journey to 50 coupled with Salman Ali Agha’s batting has to be the best depiction of “ The Tortoise and Rabbit story” . #ChampionsTrophy
The 50 I hope will come soon enough🤞
