South Africa vs Pakistan: Rajasthan Royals Have a Laugh as Babar Azam Registers a Duck in SA vs PAK T20I
Babar Azam, former Pakistan captain, registered a duck in the opening T20I against South Africa, contributing little to his team's 184-run chase. He was dismissed after attempting an upper cut off Kwena Maphaka's short ball, which was caught by Simelane at third man. Following his early dismissal, Rajasthan Royals trolled Babar by sharing a picture of him walking back to the pavilion.
The first T20 match between Pakistan and South Africa saw one of the most amazing moments when former Pakistan captain Babar Azam was dismissed for a duck. Babar, who opened the batting alongside captain Mohammad Rizwan in an 184-run chase, failed to make an impact after being dismissed early. The ball was short and delivered by Kwena Maphaka, and Babar attempted an uppercut. However, the shot went wrong, and he ended up getting caught by Simelane at third man.
This early departure was a major setback for Pakistan. Following the dismissal, Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Rajasthan Royals took to social media to troll Babar Azam. They posted a picture of the batter walking back to the pavilion after his unfortunate dismissal, humorously roasting the Pakistan star for his failure.

This lighthearted post added to the banter between the two cricketing nations, especially with Babar’s failure coming in a crucial match for his team. Babar’s duck came at a crucial time for Pakistan, and his poor performance raised questions about his form heading into the rest of the T20 series against South Africa.
