Some hilarious memes on Babar Azam went viral on social media after the Pakistan national cricket team captain failed to register a big score under his best on Day 1 of the PAK vs ENG 1st Test 2024. The right-hander played some good shots for his 30 runs off 71 deliveries but was trapped right in front of the stumps as play neared its end on the first day. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena raised his finger without any hesitation and a Decision Review System (DRS) could not save Babar Azam with the ball-tracking showing three reds. This performance added to the string of low scores of the ex-captain. Babar Azam Quits Pakistan’s Cricket Team’s ODI and T20I Captaincy, Says ‘Time for Me To Step Down and Focus on My Playing Role’.

After Babar Azam's failure, fans took to social media to react to this performance with some hilarious memes. While there were some who compared Babar Azam's innings to that of centurios Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafique, who albeit batting on a flat track, made things look very easy, others took a dig at his nickname wherein several fans refer to him with the monicker 'King.' Pakistan finished Day 1 at 328/4 and in a day their batting showed a lot of resilience, the star right-hander failed to make his mark.

With this recent failure, Babar Azam has now been unable to register a 50+ score in Test cricket since December 2022. Earlier this month, the 29-year-old relinquished captaincy of Pakistan's white-ball teams in order to focus on his batting. Babar Azam returning to form would be a crucial developmenr for Pakistan if they are to mount a challenge against England and upcoming bilateral series against Australia.
