Pakistan captain Babar Azam is dismissed in a Test match after making an unusual shot selection, drawing criticism online and raising concern about his batting form. The dismissal also extends his four-year wait for a Test century, according to reports.
The incident becomes a focus of discussion because the manner of dismissal is described as “bizarre,” with commentators pointing to the specific decision that led to his wicket. One outlet highlights that the outcome costs him a realistic opportunity to break the century drought. The report frames the moment as a turning point in the innings, while emphasizing the broader context of Babar’s prolonged difficulty converting starts into three-figure scores.
