SA vs PAK: Rajasthan Royals Brutally Trolls Babar Azam After His Four-Ball Duck

In a thrilling encounter that had cricket fans glued to their screens, South Africa clinched a narrow 11-run victory over Pakistan in the first T20I at Kingsmead, Durban. The match was not just about the cricket on the field but also about the social media banter that followed, particularly from the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Rajasthan Royals. The game itself was dominated by South Africa’s David Miller, who stole the show with a match-defining innings, but it was the early dismissal of Pakistan’s star batsman, Babar Azam, for a duck that caught the most attention. Babar Azam, known for his consistency and class, faced only four deliveries before an unfortunate upper cut led to his departure, setting the stage for a series of memes and trolling, with Rajasthan Royals leading the charge.

David Miller’s explosive batting was the highlight of the match. With South Africa at a precarious 28 for 3, Miller unleashed an assault, scoring a breathtaking 82 off just 40 balls. His innings included eight sixes and was instrumental in pushing South Africa to a competitive total of 184. Miller’s performance was a masterclass in T20 cricket, showcasing how a single player can turn the tide in a match. However, Pakistan’s chase was marred early on when Babar Azam, one of the world’s leading batsmen, was dismissed for a duck. Facing Kwena Maphaka, a young South African bowler who had recently been picked up by Rajasthan Royals in the IPL auction, Babar Azam tried an aggressive upper cut, only to find the fielder at third man.

The moment Babar Azam walked back to the pavilion, social media erupted, with fans and franchises alike taking to Twitter to express their reactions. Rajasthan Royals, never one to miss an opportunity for some light-hearted trolling, posted a tweet juxtaposing Azam’s scorecard with an image of Maphaka, humorously highlighting the contrast between an established player and an emerging star. The tweet quickly went viral, capturing the essence of cricket’s unpredictable nature and the sport’s unique blend of competition and camaraderie.

This incident wasn’t just about the trolling; it symbolized the fine margins in cricket where a single moment can shift the narrative of an entire match. For Azam, it was a rare off day, a blip on an otherwise stellar record, but for fans and followers of the game, it was an opportunity to engage in the light-hearted banter that cricket’s community thrives on. Rajasthan Royals’ cheeky Twitter post was in good spirit, reflecting the playful side of cricket that often brings fans together, transcending national boundaries in laughter and shared passion for the game.

South Africa celebrated a hard-fought victory, thanks largely to Miller’s heroics, the day was also marked by the humorous side of cricket through Rajasthan Royals’ trolling of Babar Azam. This match will be remembered not just for its on-field action but also for the off-field entertainment it provided, showcasing how cricket, with its ups and downs, continues to entertain and engage fans in various ways. Babar Azam, known for his resilience, will undoubtedly look to bounce back, but for now, the spotlight was equally on the wit of Rajasthan Royals, making this T20I a memorable encounter on and off the pitch.
