Fans believe that Babar Azam often scores runs only against small teams like Zimbabwe or Nepal. His bat does not work against a big team or in any important match. That's why fans troll him and tease him by calling him names like 'Jimbabar', 'Jimpal' and 'Jimbu'. But now his teammate Shaheen Afridi has been seen doing the same thing during the Multan Test. A video of him from Multan Test is going viral on social media.

What did Shaheen say to Babar?

Everyone from cricket experts to Pakistani fans is criticizing Babar Azam for his poor performance. Meanwhile, Pakistani fans have claimed that their teammate Shaheen Afridi called them bad names during the Multan Test. Actually, a video is going viral on social media. In this, Shaheen used the word 'Jimbu' several times. However, his voice is not heard in this, so this cannot be said clearly. He has said so. Fans are speculating from his manner of speaking that he tried to insult Babar by calling him 'Jimbu'.

According to Pakistani media, there is a long standing rift between Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam. Differences between the two started regarding captaincy. After the 2023 ODI World Cup, Babar was removed from the captaincy and Shaheen was given the responsibility of the team. But after losing the first series, he was removed from the captaincy and Babar got the captaincy back. This caused a rift between the two. However, Babar has once again resigned from his post.

flopped from 18 innings

Babar Azam is going through the worst phase of his career these days. His performance especially in Test cricket has been very bad. He has not scored more than 50 runs in this format for 654 days and 18 innings. He also flopped in the first test match against England in Multan. Babar scored 30 runs in 71 balls in the first innings and only 5 runs in the second innings on a flat pitch.
