The first and a very historic Test match between Pakistan and Australia is underway. Pakistan took to the crease first winning the toss and have stayed the entire first day and still is going strong on day two. Imam-ul-haq, Pakistan’s special long format batter opened the inning for Pakistan and stood his ground for a whole day scoring his maiden Test hundred in 11 matches.
His scintillating batting continued even on the second day and the 26-year-old lodged another half-century to take his score up to 157. An unfortunate]LBW forced him to return back to the dug-out. But as the batter took the walk back to the Pavillion, the crowd went on a full cheer, not for showcasing a superb batting performance, rather for Babar Azam who was coming to bat.
Babar Azam has made a name for himself all around the world with his exceptional batting skills. He is a master of the craft and his shots especially the cover drive is loved by cricketing fans in all parts of the world. Hence when he takes the crease, fans go berserk and that is exactly what happened. Even though Imam was equally deserving of applause but the fans in the crowd were too busy to welcome the skipper. Here’s how Twitter reacted to this

Unfortunately, Babar Azam lost his wicket on just 36 runs and
the fans were disappointed to see their favourite go back very early.
