Pakistan Net Bowler Cleans Up Babar Azam, Internet Stunned. Watch

Pakistan stalwart Babar Azam is under pressure to perform following his nation's embarrassing group stage exit from Champions Trophy 2025, held on home soil. Babar flattered to deceive during the Champions Trophy, showing promise but failing to help Pakistan win a single match as they finished last in Group A. Now, as he prepares for Pakistan's ODI series against New Zealand, a video of him in practice has gone viral. In the video, Babar is being dismissed by a net bowler during a practice match.

Pakistan's ODI series against New Zealand begins on March 29, and Babar Azam is seemingly getting some batting under his belt. However, the viral clip shows Babar being completely outfoxed by a leg-spinner in practice.

Babar appears to totally miss the delivery, leading to an appeal by the bowler. As the umpire raises his finger, Babar seems to be in shock.

The 30-year-old is not part of Pakistan's T20I squad for the series against New Zealand, but will join the team for the three-match ODI series. He is expected to return to his usual middle order role, having failed to live up to expectation as an opener.

Out to a spinner again...

No disrespect but Babar is completely blind against off spin. . . . Front foot and back foot. . . It isn't that difficult but idk what coaches do. . . https://t.co/9hAlIsYWyi

He should take a break from cricket for a month.#PakistanCricket https://t.co/MHnXsckrJk
