‘Everything changed after…’: Fans blame Babar Azam’s handshake with Virat Kohli for poor form

Babar Azam has had a forgettable Asia Cup 2022 campaign. The Pakistani skipper was dismissed for just 5 runs, which brought an end to a dismal run in the multi-nation tournament. 

Even though he had been in the form of his life before the Asia Cup, a series of struggling displays have seen the Pakistani captain getting trolled on social media. Ahead of the start of Asia Cup 2022, Babar’s handshake pic with Virat Kohli had been going viral. 

Their respective careers have gone in opposite directions since, Virat smashed 276 runs in five games, while he was struggling for runs since the start of 2022. On the other hand, Babar was in a rich vein of form before Asia Cup, but he has had some forgettable displays in the tournament.
