Pakistan vs England: Pakistan 's premier pacer Shaheen Afridi was heard taunting Babar Azam in middle of Multan Test. It is no secret that re are multiple factions within Pakistani cricket team. Also, Shaheen and Babar do not share a healthy equation - that too is common knowledge and hence it was no surprise when pacer was taunting premier batter on day four of ongoing Test against England in Multan. 

So What Really Happened? 

Babar is often roasted by fans for scoring big runs against lesser-ranked teams and not coming up with performances against better teams. Fans dress him with  "Zimbabar" or just "Zimbu" and now it seems like Pakistan cricketers also use this nickname to troll batter.
