Babar Azam's Reaction Goes Viral After Test Replacement Kamran Ghulam Slams Debut Ton

Ghulam looked at ease against the England bowlers and he ended up scoring 118 off 224 deliveries with the help of 11 fours and 1 six. The 29-year-old replaced Babar Azam in the starting XI after the former Pakistan captain was dropped following a dismal run. Following the ton, Babar took to social media to congratulate Ghulam on his achievement as he wrote on his Instagram story - "Well done Kamran".

Both Pakistan and India are out of the Women's T20 World Cup from the group stage. India's hopes of qualifying for the semi-finals hinged of Pakistan's match against New Zealand. Had Pakistan won the match, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led India would have entered the last four stage. Pakistan restricted New Zealand in 110/6 in 20 overs but then got out for just 56 - the second lowest total in the history of Women's T20 World Cup. What was even worse that Pakistan dropped at least eight catches.

Pakistan batter Kamran Ghulam, who on Tuesday scored a resolute century on Test debut, said there was immense pressure on him to perform after taking Babar Azam's place in the team, adding that his perseverance in domestic cricket for the last four years had finally paid off.

"It has been frustrating waiting for nearly four years to finally get a chance to play for Pakistan. I had so much passion and wanted to do well when I got the chance," Kamran told the media.
