Pakistan’s top order batsman Babar Azam is a very calm person and he is rarely seen fighting with anyone on the field. He collided with Proteas all-rounder Wiaan Mulder on the third day of the second Test against South Africa on Sunday. This incident happened in the 32nd over of Pakistan’s innings, where Babar played a shot on the ball of bowler Mulder. Here Mulder caught the ball in his follow-through and threw it back to Babar, leading to a heated argument between the two players.
A fight breaks out between Mulder and Babar
After this Mulder said something to Babar and later the former Pakistan captain also said something. Seeing the matter escalating, the umpire intervened and separated the two players. Aiden Markram and Pakistan captain Shan Masood also had to intervene in this.
Pakistan got follow on
In response to South Africa’s huge score of 615 runs in the first innings of the match, Pakistan’s first innings was reduced to just 194 runs. Babar had the biggest contribution in the team’s innings, he played an inning of 58 runs. Then the Proteas team gave follow-on to Pakistan. However, Pakistan batted well in the second innings, where on the basis of Masood’s century and Babar’s strong innings of 81 runs, the team scored 213 runs for one wicket at the end of the third day’s play.
Masood-Babar pair created history
Meanwhile, the pair of Masood-Babar made a record-breaking opening partnership of 205 runs against South Africa. Left-handed batsman Masood led the team’s comeback with an unbeaten 102 off 166 balls, while Babar missed out on his first Test century in two years. In the third session, left-arm fast bowler Marco Jensen caught him out in the gully. The team still has to score 208 runs to avoid innings defeat.
