Babar Azam engaged in a verbal battle after the Pakistan batter was deliberately hit by South African pacer Wiaan Mulder on Day 4 of the second Test at Cape Town on Monday. The incident took place during Pakistan’s second innings.
With the visitors 181/0 in the 32nd over, Mulder bowled a length delivery which Babar played with the straight bat which went to Mulder towards the non-striker’s end.
The South African all-rounder threw the ball on his follow-through at Babar, claiming to aim the stumps. The ball hit Babar, who was standing at a distance from the stumps, on his pads. Immediately, Mulder engaged himself in a war of words with Babar.
The former Pakistan came down the pitch and said something to Mulder before the umpires and Aiden Markram intervened. Markram was seen having a lengthy conversation with Babar before the matter was sorted.
