Ramiz Raja Shocking Drama Karega Remark on Babar Azam Goes Viral
The Pakistan team is playing a two-match Test series at home against South Africa, the first of which is being played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. After winning the toss, the Pakistani team decided to bat first and by the end of the first day's play, they had scored 313 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. Former Pakistani captain Babar Azam, who was returning to international cricket after a long time, lost his wicket after scoring just 23 runs on the first day's play. During the live commentary of the match, former PCB chief Rameez Raja also insulted Babar.
Ramiz Raja said he would now create drama -
Batting against South Africa, Babar Azam tried to block the first ball of the 49th over of the innings from left-arm spinner Prenellan Subraiyan by moving one foot forward. However, the ball spun in time, hit Babar's bat, and went straight to the wicketkeeper. The African team appealed for a dismissal, which the on-field umpire upheld and declared it out.
Babar Azam was shocked when he was given out and took DRS to challenge the umpire's decision. During this, Rameez Raja, who was on commentary, asked his fellow commentator to put down the microphone and said that he was out and would create a drama. His words were clearly audible during the live match.
When the decision was given to the third umpire, he declared Babar not out. However, later in the 60th over, Prenelan Subrayyan took Babar Azam's wicket.
