Babar Azam's recent struggles with the bat have taken center stage once again, as the Pakistan skipper endured another disappointing outing in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. In the second innings of the second Test, Babar managed to score just 11 runs before being dismissed, marking his fourth consecutive failure in the series.

Babar Azam trolled for poor performances

The series has been a nightmare for the former Pakistan captain. Babar's performances in the first Test were equally underwhelming, where he was dismissed for a duck in the first innings and could only muster 22 runs in the second. His highest score in the series came in the first innings of the second Test, where he managed 31 runs.

As the pressure mounts on Babar Azam, both from within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the fans, questions about his future in the Test side are being raised. The criticism has been fierce, especially on social media, where fans have expressed their frustration with Babar Azam. On X (formerly Twitter), Babar was brutally trolled, with netizens creating a barrage of memes and comments that reflected their disappointment with his continued failures.

One of the key points of criticism is Babar Azam's prolonged slump in Test cricket. The former world No. 1 Test batter has now gone 616 days without scoring a fifty in the longest format of the game. His current form in the Bangladesh series is a stark contrast to the heights he once reached, leaving fans and cricket experts alike questioning his place in the team.

The calls for Babar's exclusion from the Test side are growing louder, with many suggesting that a break might be necessary for him to regain his form.
