In a video that has gone popular on social media, Harbhajan Singh, the former spinner for India, is shown erupting in laughter when asked to choose between West Indies great Brian Lara and Pakistan batter Babar Azam. The leaked video is from the Caught & Bold series on Star Sports. Harbhajan was asked to choose between Sri Lankan icon Kumar Sangakkara and Brian Lara at the beginning of the video. Lara was chosen by the Indian. At that moment, Harbhajan and the other panel members burst out laughing, asking him to choose between Lara and Babar.
The Pakistani cricket team, captained by Babar Azam, was eliminated from the T20 World Cup in the first round. The team’s shocking defeat against the USA, who were playing in their first T20 World Cup, was a major factor in their elimination. Later, in yet another underwhelming performance at the huge event, the squad was unable to chase down a target of 120 runs against India.
“I believe that the bowling conditions were favorable to our bowlers. However, in the batting department we did not make many errors in the games against the USA and India. “The pressure is on you when you lose wickets,” Babar remarked after the conclusion of Pakistan’s campaign.
“Sir, as previously said, everyone feels discouraged (due to our performance). We weren’t a cohesive unit. We did not lose as a team, thus this is not the fault of a single person. It’s not the captain alone. There are eleven participants, thus I am unable to play for each of them. Every player in the World Cup has a certain job given to them. We must have a seat and determine what has to be done because the execution was lacking. I acknowledge that we weren’t a cohesive unit,” he continued.
