New Delhi, Nov 5: Azam Khan, Pakistan's wicketkeeper-batter, has harshly criticized the social media behavior of fans, particularly those of Babar Azam, following an international match in Ireland. Speaking on the Backward Point Cricket Podcast, Azam recounted the abuse he received after the match, including a comment on his Instagram post suggesting that if Babar failed to score a century, his mother would die and his father would get cancer.
He described the fans of Babar as "Jaahil" (ignorant). Azam emphasized that while Babar's performance was commendable, his fanbase is toxic and unreasonable. The journalist also discussed the backlash he faced regarding his fitness following Pakistan's loss to India in the T20 World Cup 2024. He argued that blaming his fitness for the team's performance was unjust, given that even the fittest players on the team struggled that day.
