A video of Babar Azam playfully tapping spinner Sajid Khan’s head like a ‘tabla’ during Pakistan’s Test match against West Indies has gone viral, sparking mixed reactions among fans.

Babar Azam fell to a peach of a delivery from Jayden Seales and he bizarrely went for a review despite getting a big nick.

The provocative Babar Azam is on course to break Imran Khan's record of 22 test centuries before his career ended last year. Azam, Pakistan's star batsman, is now just two more scores away from achieving a major milestone as he prepares for the test series against the West Indies.

Pakistan's star batsman Babar Azam was dismissed cheaply on Day 1 of the 1st Test against the West Indies in Multan. Babar fell for 8 (20) as Pakistan elected to bat first after a delayed start to the Test (due to fog).

Captain Shan Masood and Babar Azam have shared Pakistan’s record opening stand of 205 runs against South Africa after the Proteas enforced the follow-on on the third day of the second and final test.

Senior Team India batter Virat Kohli and former Pakistan captain Babar Azam are often compared by fans and experts.

Imran Khan, the former Pakistan captain, is currently the fifth-highest run-scorer for Pakistan against the West Indies in international cricket, with 1,977 runs. Babar Azam, with 1,676 runs to his name across all formats, is just 302 runs shy of surpassing the legendary all-rounder.

Babar Azam is reportedly set to earn a mouth-watering sum of money after switching his bat sponsor to CA Sports.

Check out why Babar Azam is unlikely to open for Pakistan against West Indies in the home Test series, only on.

Babar Azam hammered two fifties on the same day in the ongoing 2nd Test against South Africa at Newlands, Cape Town. Pakistan, who resumed Day 2 on 64/3, went on to get dismissed for 194 after South Africa's 615 earlier.

Pakistan has recalled opening batter Imam-ul-Haq for the two-test series against the West Indies starting in Multan at next week.

Sachin Tendulkar and Babar Azam are two players who cracked the formula of ODI cricket, almost to the point of making it feel like it was their most favored format.
