Babar Azam, the star batter of Pakistan, is no stranger to the spotlight, but a recent advertisement shoot has left him in an unexpected light. The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows Babar attempting to take a catch during the shoot, but unfortunately, he dropped it. The incident has sparked a wave of trolling and commentary, with users questioning Babar's skills and even suggesting that he might not get paid for the shoot.
What makes this incident particularly interesting is the context of Babar's role as the captain of Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The PSL is set to begin, and Babar is expected to lead his team to success. However, the video of the dropped catch has raised questions about his performance and reliability.
One user commented, 'Even the mattress company knows Babar will drop it... so they put the bed right there!', implying that the safety measures were in place to prevent such an incident. Another user added, 'Isse gadde rakh kar bhi catch nahi liya ja raha socho agar bina gadde k pakadta to kya hota. shayad ye 1 saal tak khel hi nahi paata', suggesting that Babar might not have the skills to handle the pressure of a real match.
The trolling extends to the idea that Babar might not get paid for the shoot, with one user writing, 'Payment nahi milega aab'. This comment highlights the public's perception of Babar's performance and the potential consequences of such incidents. The PSL 11 will be played behind closed doors due to regional geopolitical tensions, which will undoubtedly impact the atmosphere and the players' experience.
Babar, the Zalmi captain, admitted that the absence of fans will be a significant challenge. He stated, 'We will certainly miss the fans in the stadiums and I am sure they will also miss watching the action live. Wherever we play, we receive tremendous support and we will try to play an exciting brand of cricket to make our fans proud while they follow us on television and social media'.
Babar also addressed the team's performance, acknowledging that their bowling lacked consistency last season. He assured that they have a strong bowling line-up this time and are focused on executing their plans well. The incident with the dropped catch serves as a reminder that even the best athletes can face challenges and setbacks, and it is up to them to overcome these obstacles and maintain their reputation.
In my opinion, Babar Azam's performance in the advertisement shoot has raised some concerns about his reliability and skills. However, it is important to remember that these incidents can happen to anyone, and it is up to Babar to learn from this and improve his performance in the upcoming PSL season. The absence of fans will undoubtedly impact the team's dynamics and performance, but Babar's leadership and focus on improving the bowling line-up give the team a chance to succeed.
