It is pertinent to mention that a click of Babar Azam standing beside Marais Erasmus had gone viral. The horizontal picture made it look like the umpire’s belly was that of the skipper.
Babar Azam and Marais Erasmus, aware of the social media post making rounds, decided to recreate the hilarious scenario.
The viral video showed Babar Azam walking towards Marais Erasmus and standing beside the umpire in the same position after the latter was hit by the ball on the stomach after Imam-ul-Haq threw it at the bowler’s end. The official knew what to do and let out his belly.
The duo burst out laughing. The cricketer walked away after patting the umpire’s belly hilariously. The commentators showed the original picture to those watching at home.
As far as the match was concerned, Pakistan started the second day’s proceedings at 107-2. Babar Azam and Saud Shakeel were at the crease at 61 and 32.
