Watch Babar Azam yells at Haris Rauf due to his poor delivery, the pacer then dismisses Phil Salt with the following ball with the video viral
Pakistan once again faced a heartbreaking loss as they lost the 2022 World Cup trophy to England.
Babar Azam Abuses Haris Rauf During PAK vs ENG T20 World Cup Final, Video Goes Viral
The Babar Azam-led team was undoubtedly ready to fight, despite Pakistan’s inability to put up a respectable score since they kept losing wickets in the dying stages. As the left-arm bowler destroyed Alex Hales, Shaheen Afridi drew the first blood for the Men in Green. Pakistan then attempted to impede England, but Jos Buttler continued. He was joined in the middle by Phil Salt as well. As the two batsmen began to score boundaries, Pakistan started getting dominated. Haris Rauf was waiting to initiate an attack, and Babar Azam was confident the pacer could pull it off. T
he only thing the Pakistani skipper needed was to refuel, and Azam accomplished just that. Rauf heard Babar say something, and then…bang! The pacer sprinted in and fiercely bowled a short ball. When Salt attempted to tackle him, he was unable to keep up with the ball’s pace and was forced to hand a catch to Iftikhar Ahmed, who was positioned at midwicket.
Have a look at the video by a fan on Twitter, below in which Babar Azam can be understood as abusing.

Haris added Jos Buttler’s wicket to this wicket to give Pakistan supporters and his teammates plenty to cheer about. After Buttler missed many Naseem Shah deliveries, the Pakistani pacer caught the England captain off guard. The pacer not only sprinted in with the ball but also displayed tremendous vigour on the field by saving a particular four. Rauf retrieved a ball that was headed for the ropes by plunging all the way through.
Even though Pakistan could only muster 137/8, they made sure that England had to scrape to a second T20 World Cup victory. The winning runs were hit by star all-rounder Ben Stokes, who also played a key role in England’s victory in the 2019 World Cup final and notched his first-ever T20I half-century in the process. His final score was 52 off of 49 balls. When they applied more pressure, Pakistan appeared to be able to defend the total, but Stokes and Moeen Ali quickly changed the situation with some big hits in the final five overs.
