Social media erupted as Babar Azam faced backlash for his underwhelming performance in the PAK vs Aus Test in Perth, disappointing fans with twin batting failures.
Babar Azam is facing heavy criticism on social media for his poor show in the first Test against Australia in Perth. Scoring just 21 runs in the first innings and failing to shine in the second, fans were disappointed as they expected him to play a crucial role in the chase.
Australia posted a hefty total of 487 runs in the first innings, while Pakistan managed only 271 in their second innings, giving the hosts a substantial lead of 216 runs. Australia declared their second innings at 233/5, setting a challenging target of 450 runs for Pakistan in the final innings. However, Pakistan faltered early at 17/2, and Babar Azam’s entry raised hopes. But his dismissal after scoring 14 runs further crumbled Pakistan’s chase. Ultimately, Pakistan collapsed for 89 runs, conceding a defeat by 360 runs.
In 2023, across 7 Test innings, the ex-captain has maintained an average of only 23.14 without registering either a century or a half-century. Fans expressed disappointment in Babar’s performance, citing his struggle in SENA countries in Tests.

I think its high time he should be benched or replaced and players like Tayyab Tahir are given chances.
Babar Azam is a mediocre player now.#PAKvsAUS #BabarAzam #BabarAzam𓃵
Dear pakistanies, now the time has come to find another player to compare with Virat Kohli because Babar Azam is finished.

The Pakistan team just wanna get this match over with so they can go sightseeing and shopping with their better halves. In their minds they’ve already lost so why to work so hard? By the way still waiting for Babar Azam to actually perform!! #PakvsAus
