Reporter Asks If Loss vs USA Was An ‘Upset’, Babar Azam’s Bizarre Reply Goes Viral

After Pakistan’s shock defeat to the United States in an exhibition match, reporter Malika Andrews asked captain Babar Azam if it was an “upset.” Azam’s response puzzled viewers and quickly went viral.

Instead of acknowledging the loss, Azam replied, “I think it was a good game. We tried our best. We have to improve our batting and bowling.”

Andrews pressed further, “But surely, losing to the US is a bit of an upset, isn’t it?”

Azam’s response became more enigmatic. “I don’t think so. We are still the best team in the world. We just need to work on a few things.”

Social media users were quick to mock Azam’s comments. One user tweeted, “Babar Azam thinks losing to the US is not an upset. I think he needs a reality check.”

Another user wrote, “Babar Azam is living in a different world. How can he say Pakistan are still the best team in the world after that performance?”

The Pakistani cricket team has been facing criticism for its inconsistent performances in recent months. The loss to the US, a team that is ranked well below them in the ICC rankings, only added to the pressure on the team and its captain.

Azam’s bizarre response to the question about the upset has raised concerns about his leadership abilities and his grasp of the team’s current situation. It remains to be seen how the Pakistan Cricket Board will respond to the incident and whether Azam will face any disciplinary action.
