Ramiz Raja stirs controversy by commenting on Babar Azam.

As soon as Babar Azam entered on Day 1 of the first Test against South Africa in Lahore, the stadium erupted in applause, following captain Shan Masood’s dismissal in the second session. Fans’ joy, however, was short-lived as he fell soon after tea for 23. The day could’ve turned even worse for him, having survived a caught behind appeal just three balls into his innings. The majority of the crowd present at the ground cheered when the on-field umpire’s decision was overturned. However, a massive controversy erupted when Ramiz Raja was heard making a bizarre comment about Babar, after the latter challenged the on-field umpire’s decision to the third umpire.

Ramiz was heard as saying in a viral video, “Ye out hoga to drama karega (If he is given out here, he will create drama).” The former PCB chairman has been receiving backlash for his remarks on Babar. Coming back to the match, returning opener Imam-ul-Haq missed out on his comeback test century as Pakistan recovered well from a brief collapse on an abrasive wicket to reach 313-5.
