Former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja brutally mocked star batter Babar Azam during the first Test against South Africa at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The incident occurred in Pakistan's first innings on Day 1 Sunday, October 12 when Babar was given out by on-field umpire Senuran Muthusamy off bowling.
Babar made his return to the Pakistan lineup after nearly two months. He struggled again in the first innings of the Test against South Africa in Lahore. The right-handed batter got off to a decent start but was eventually undone by Proteas spinner Simon Harmer, failing to make a notable impact.
Babar Azam came to the crease at number four with Pakistan in a strong position at 163/2 against South Africa. On the first ball of the 49th over, the batter was initially given out by the umpire, with the fielders claiming an edge.
