Babar Azam plays the board on Sajid Khan’s bald head to celebrate a wicket in PAK vs WI Test
Pakistan national cricket team batsman Babar Azam did not have a great game with the bat in the ongoing first test against West Indies cricket team. The first match of the two-match series between the two teams is being played at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan.
Babar Azam, despite not having a great outing with the bat, is careful to maintain a high intensity on the field. The top batsman of Pakistan national cricket team was animated on the field and also provided funny moments that caught the attention of many.
One such moment occurred during West Indies’ first innings when Sajid Khan removed Kavem Hodge. The spinner made a brilliant effort with the ball and then complimented it well with a catch that sent the West Indies National Cricket Team bat into the hut.

Sajid Khan bowled the ball outside, to which Kavem Hodge came down the track and played a shot to the bowler’s left. The spinner went for his left arm but failed to collect it as it popped out but showed great composure as he fell.
As he fell down, he hung onto the ball by his collarbone. He stood up and threw the ball before performing his signature celebration. But what caught the attention of many was the celebration of Pakistan national cricket team batsman Babar Azam.
As all the players ran towards Sajid Khan, Babar Azam came up with a hilarious reaction. He thumped Sajid Khan’s bald head before returning to his place in the field.

Babar does these weird celebrations these days because he wants to be in the limelight, which is not the case when he is batting.
I mean, there’s no harm in celebrating wickets, but as a senior batsman you should do more than be a hired cheerleader. pic.twitter.com/KODzaOo69X— Abdullah (@abdullahhammad4) January 18, 2025
