Former Pakistan captain and former PCB chairman Rameez Raja said something about Babar Azam during commentary, which created controversy. This happened during the Pakistan vs South Africa first test, when Babar was batting and he was declared out on an appeal. Then Rameez forgot to switch off his mic, he thought that no one was listening to what he was saying but his mic was on and people heard his words.

Pakistan vs South Africa The first test is being played at Gaddafi Stadium. Sunday was the first day of the test, Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat. After Abdullah Shafiq’s dismissal, Imam ul Haq (93) and Shan Masood (76) made a partnership of 161 runs. Babar Azam once again flopped, he was out LBW on the ball of Simon Harmer after scoring 23 runs.

Rameez Raja called Babar Azam a dramatist

Babar Azam tried to defend on the first ball of the 49th over, but the ball passed near the bat and went into the hands of the wicket keeper. There was an appeal and the umpire declared him out. Babar immediately demanded DRS. At this time Rameez Raja was in the commentary, now he had to switch off his mic but he forgot. Meanwhile he said, “He is out, drama will do.” Raja was saying these things for Babar, however in the replay it was seen that there was no contact between the ball and the bat, hence the umpire had to reverse his decision and call him not out.
