Watch: Angry Babar Azam throws fan’s phone away during President's Trophy Grade 1

On his second successive domestic game in the President’s Trophy Grade 1, the Pakistan Test captain, Babar Azam, was seen to be pushing away a fan and throwing one of their phones as the video quickly went viral around the social media platforms as he turned up to play in Islamabad. 

It was unlike Babar character, who has always loved to spend time with his fans and give them selfies in the field or other places. But the security was poor in these domestic games, as many fans breached the cordon to gather around the right-handed batter on his dismissal.

Babar Azam appeared visibly frustrated as two fans approached him for selfies

In the video, the Pakistan player was seen to be on the field when two fans appeared to approach him with an attempt to take a few selfies with the Pakistan batting star. The situation turned tense in a flash as the star batter appeared visibly frustrated with the interaction of the fans.

One of the fans was seen to be moving towards Babar with a phone on his hand as the star batter appears to push the fan away before turning his attention to the second individual. Babar picked up the phone of another fan and threw it in the air. Two young kids, who were running towards the batter, went back, scared.

The incident has gathered massive headlines beyond the game itself. Earlier in the game, a fan was seen charging into the middle when Babar was heading back to the pavilion for the lunch break. The fan took a selfie with the star player and came back to his position.

Babar Azam’s batting struggle continues on his domestic cricket return

Babar struggled in the England series recently. After being away from the opening Test of the three-match series in Headingley, he returned to the second game at Lord’s but couldn’t put a strong score with the bat. His only fifty of the series came in the final innings of the trip at Edgbaston in Birmingham. 

In the previous domestic game, Babar made just 16 runs across the two innings. He was tested incredibly by the young bowlers as his failed pull shot brought his downfall. The pressure of not getting a century has become a monkey on the shoulder of the batter.
