Funny banter between Hassan Ali and Babar Azam
During an over, while facing Hassan, Babar decided to have some fun with his Pakistan teammate. In the middle of a run, with Hassan in his way, Babar pretended to hit him with his bat, causing Hassan to run for cover. It was a light-hearted moment that showed the camaraderie between the players and provided a bit of entertainment for fans watching the match.
Here’s the video:
In another incident, Babar expressed his frustration by slamming his bat on the ground after only scoring a single off the last ball of the innings. Despite his performance, Peshawar lost the game, and Babar was left disappointed with his last shot.
