Since Monday evening, when an Instagram user claimed that the Pakistan captain engaged in inappropriate behaviour with her, Pakistan captain Babar Azam has been one of the most widely discussed subjects among those trending on Twitter.
An Instagram user uploaded what they claimed to be personal photographs as well as audio recordings of discussions with Babar, which quickly gained widespread attention on other social networking sites.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), on the other hand, has dismissed the charges as “unsubstantiated” in a press release.
In response to a tweet from Fox Cricket that has since been removed, the PCB tweeted, “As our media partner, you might have considered disregarding such baseless personal charges which Babar Azam has not thought worthy of a reaction.” Fox Cricket’s original tweet has since been deleted.
The vast majority of cricket fans have voiced their support for Babar, with many Pakistani fans using trending hashtags such as #StayStrongBabarAzam and #BehindYouSkipper to express their solidarity with Babar.
In the realm of cricket, Babar Azam has been under a great deal of strain due to his and the team’s performance in the most recent matches.
As a result of their struggles on the field, the Pakistan squad captained by Babar was forced to endure a 3-0 whitewash at the hands of England in a home Test series. They played New Zealand in two Test matches, and both of those matches ended in a scoreless tie.
They were dealt another blow when Babar and his team were defeated by New Zealand in their home ODI series, which consisted of three matches.
During the current cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC), Pakistan failed not achieve victory in a single one of their home Test matches while Babar was serving as captain.
In spite of the fact that he led Pakistan to the final of the T20 World Cup in 2022, Babar Azam’s status as Pakistan’s captain has been the subject of persistent rumours.
