Babar Azam Silences Sarfaraz Ahmed’s Taunts with Century in Champions Cup
In a thrilling Champions Cup encounter in Faisalabad, Pakistan’s batting maestro Babar Azam silenced his detractors with a magnificent century, proving that he remains a force to be reckoned with.
The match took an unexpected turn when Dolphins wicketkeeper Sarfaraz Ahmed attempted to unsettle Babar with sarcastic remarks. “No hurry, tell spectators to chant Babar, Babar. Let Babar play 40 overs and we will get others out,” Sarfaraz was heard saying on the stump microphone.
However, Babar responded in the best possible way, showcasing his class and composure. Coming in to bat at No. 3 for the Stallions, he played a masterful innings, scoring 104 not out off 100 balls. His knock included seven boundaries and three towering sixes, guiding the Stallions to a competitive 271 for 7 in 50 overs.
In response, the Dolphins’ batting lineup crumbled under pressure, crashing to a dismal 97 all out in just 25 overs. Sarfaraz, who had tried to provoke Babar, managed only five runs before being dismissed.
Jahandad Khan and Mehran Mumtaz were the stars with the ball for the Stallions, claiming three wickets each. Haris Rauf and Abrar Ahmed also chipped in with two wickets apiece, ensuring a comprehensive 174-run victory for their team.
Babar’s century was a timely reminder of his exceptional talent and resilience. Despite facing criticism for his recent form, he proved that he is still capable of dominating the game. His innings not only silenced his critics but also inspired his team to a resounding victory.
