Pakistan captain Babar Azam flares up at the press conference after the first Test against New Zealand. The first Test match played between the two teams in Karachi ended in a draw.
Babar did not respond to a reporter during the press conference. He got very angry on this. When Babar was going out, the journalist said from behind, “This is not the way, I am continuously pointing you for the question.” Babar became furious on hearing this and went out staring.
The entire incident was captured in the camera installed in the room and went viral on social media. Babar’s reaction is being seen as an incident in a press conference a few days back.
Then the same journalist asked Babar a question about spinner Numan Ali. Babar became uncomfortable with that question. The journalist had said that Numan Ali has scored a century (given more than 100 runs) with the ball. Babur did not like this.
