On-air criticism of Babar Azam by former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull during a Pakistan Super League (PSL) match caused an uproar among Pakistani cricket fans on social media. Doull’s tweet accusing Babar of prioritizing his individual achievements over those of the team sparked a firestorm of responses from Babar’s ardent followers. And now, after making comments against Hassan Ali’s wife during the PSL match between Islamabad United and Multan Sultans, he’s once again a topic of conversation.
Pakistan Super League (PSL) action saw an exciting victory for Islamabad over Multan. Doull was commentating as the victorious clubhouse celebrated a resounding victory. Doull could be heard stating, “She has won it,” as the camera panned to Samiyaa Arzoo, the wife of Hassan Ali. I think she’s also managed to win over a few people’s affections. It is fantastic; really impressive. Plus, we won.”
A video of the analysis is widely shared online.
Early on, Doull had questioned Babar’s strategy of slowing down his run-scoring as he neared the century mark.
“For a while now, individual goals have been prioritized over team goals. If you’re not trying to find limits, there’s a lot more ammunition to come. Numbers in the hundreds are impressive, and statistics are fascinating, but the team always comes first “After the game, Doull made the following statement.
Islamabad United beat Multan Sultans by 2 runs in their encounter, which was decided on the penultimate ball of the game. Shadab Khan captained the winning team.
